Abstract	This paper examines the postsecondary enrollment decisions of immigrant students, expanding on previous work by explicitly considering the choices among institution types and by examining differences across generations and racial / ethnic categories. Using data from the National Educational Longitudinal Study (NELS:88) the authors estimate a multinomial logit model of enrollment choice. They find that first- and second generation Asians are significantly more likely to enroll in both two- and four-year public colleges and universities, while second-generation Hispanics and native blacks have a higher probability of enrolling in both public and private four- year colleges and universities.
