_Notes_ : All specifications include a constant and indicators of age and wave year. Marginal effects are reported with robust standard errors in parenthesis, which are clustered by urban area of college.<sup>_∗∗∗_</sup> ,<sup>_∗∗_</sup> , and<sup>_∗_</sup> indicate significance at the 1, 5, and 10 percent levels. Columns (2a)–(2b) report marginal effects of residuals of a first stage estimation on the probability of moving for college, as shown in table 6. In columns (2a)–(2b), standard errors are bootstrapped with 200 iterations. ‘Mother, less than high school’, ‘Very low household income,’ and ‘In a big city during high school’ are the excluded categories.
