“…One could theorize that more affluent families may provide students with guidance that pushes them through the most direct and efficient pathways available within universities, while at the same time protecting them from downward trajectories into less lucrative career tracks available through the community college sector. This dynamic would be consistent with broader stratification research which has found that upper middle‐class families craft “glass floors” beyond which their offspring are unable to fall (Aurini, Pizarro Milian, and Missaghian 2023). At the same time, for those students that first enter the community college sector, wealthy families could be providing the necessary guidance and resources to help students to adjust their pathways by quickly shifting to the university sector.…”

The relationship between geography and early transfer behavior has received limited empirical attention. In this study, we track six cohorts of university and community college entrants to examine differences in the early pathways they travel through Ontario post‐secondary education (PSE), paying particular attention to how transfer pathway uptake by students in the province's rural north might vary from those in the more urbanized southern regions. Overall, we observe only modest regional differences in early transfer pathway uptake, with parental income proving to be a more constituent predictor of transfer. However, we do find more sizable net regional differences in the propensity that students will drop out within two years of entering PSE, with northern students being significantly more at risk of leaving PSE in their early years.
