Abstract	This study explores the lived experiences of 10 students entering college from rural Oregon communities. Using narrative inquiry, the author examines students' transition, common experiences, and enrollment barriers. Resulting themes include: (a) unexpected emotional and social transition, (b) motivations for enrolling, (c) lack of social and co-curricular involvement, and (d) exposure to diversity leading to consciousness of a rural identity. Areas of further research and tools to improve rural students' college experience are discussed. (As Provided).
