Abstract
To what degree do rural students in the United States aspire to higher education? What barriers do rural students experience in their journey to a four-year degree? How does geography and first-generation status interact during a rural student's college choice? Sonja Ardoin's College Aspirations and Access in Working-Class Rural Communities provides a new and unique case study to provide some answers to these questions through the voices of high school students and their counselor at MapDot High School (pseudonym).
