Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taken together, the findings elaborate that significant rural-urban and interprovincial disparities in college enrollment persist in China, despite the dramatic enrollment expansion since the 1990s. Once rural students secure a seat in universities, they share the similar potential of academic success with their urban counterparts. This dissertation advances understanding of the equity consequences of the expansion policy and rural students’ experiences and outcomes inside the college gate. Findings from this dissertation also hold important implications for policy-makers and university administrators.
