This study aims to analyze the influence of motivation, personality, and environment on students 'interest to continue their studies to college. we used a sample of 162 students at 12th grade. Data analysis techniques using multiple linear regression analysis. The results show that motivation and environment significantly influence towards enthusiasm for continuing to higher education. However, not with personality variables. This proves that even though generation Z students have pragmatic personalities, underdeveloped social relationships, caution with their emotions, individualists, and open thinking, have not been proven to have an influence on interest in continuing their studies. So, even if the personality is good or bad does not have an influence on the interest in continuing their studies to college. Because of that, cooperation between family environments, school and community environment especially peer interaction very needed. The role of the main family environment in the lives of students, the family environment is expected to always support what is aspired by their children, especially in sub-indicators of family environment which has a moderate mean of social class and economic status.

“…Most of these studies either focus on domestic vs. foreign or are related just to the students' choice without mentioning AACSB or any other international accreditation. Tamtekin Aydın [26] published a literature review on the university choice process and among the main factors, family, reference groups, reputation, location, job prospects, personal factors, and financial factors such as cost or financial aid were identified. Nemar and Vrontis [27] conducted a similar analysis focusing on Lebanon but their goal was to research the students' choice in order to help universities to segment their customers and to better target their marketing efforts.…”

The purpose of the current article is to determine the sustainability of international accreditations for business schools. As international accreditations are viewed as a costly process, universities must think if this endeavor could have a positive impact in the long run. From an impact point of view, we look at the intake of students, focusing on the factors that impact the decision of students in their choice of university. We have noticed that these international accreditations are pursued by business schools to increase their outreach and to receive a certification of quality that is recognized overseas. We consider the hypothesis that international accreditation is a key factor in the decision-making process of candidates, and we tested it by applying a questionnaire to 400 business and economics students that are studying in two business schools. From the 400 students that answered the questionnaire, only 199 responses were considered fully answered and proper for our study. Our results show that there is a difference between French and Romanian students in the choice of universities. While both groups agree that internationalization is important, their decisions are based on different elements. Our research is among the few that look both at the student choice and at the impact of the international accreditation on the student numbers.

“…Shanka et al (2005) explain that family influence is a major factor in the choice of higher education. Because almost all students consult with their parents about their higher education plans (Aydin, 2015). Aguado et al (2015) explained parents are the financiers of the education of their children, they have a significant influence on their children choosing higher education (Rudhumbu, 2017).…”
