520 $a The higher education system in Mainland China has witnessed dramatic increase from 1990s. With the expansion, the system has become more and more hierarchical. As a result, the research focus is shifting from quantitative inequality to qualitative inequality of opportunity for higher education.
520 $a As to the effect of students' background on opportunity for higher education, two approaches emerged. One is analysis of the relationship between students' background and distribution of the opportunities, and another is investigation of the individual action in college choice. As regards the interpretation of individual action, rational action theory and theory of practice have usually been used in this field. Based on the theory of practice, this study investigates the agents' practice and the impact of structure through interviews with 41 first-year college students. Major findings are as follows:
520 $a Firstly, college choice not only includes the choice-making in the decision points, but also refers to the preparation before going to college and the amendment after going to college. Family and school can make difference in terms of interest, educational expectation, educational resources, decision-making on city, institution and specialization, coping strategy for facing undesired result, involvement in college, and career expectation.
520 $a Secondly, the result of college choice means different things to different students. Some of them are satisfied with the successful choice while others are regretful for their unwise strategy. If they failed to reset the undesired result, students try to treat what they get as what they deserve, just like those successful students do. Most of the students are in agreement with the geographical inequality in opportunity for college. However, they have ambiguous opinion on the effect of family background on students' going to college.
520 $a Thirdly, structural factors, i.e. geographical position, hierarchy in the public school system, family background, ethnic group, and gender, have influence on students' college choice. Their desire, belief and evidence in college choice are limited by these factors. As a result, theory of practice is more suitable to interpret students' action. As agents, students try to resist what the structure have exerted on themselves, though they may suffer from lack of resources and may not change their life situation in the end.
