Özet
The main aim of this study was to analyze the extent to which location influenced preferences in higher education institution choices. For this purpose, in the 2021–2022 academic year, users who have newly registered in a settlement at the associate and undergraduate level were matched and coordinated at the department level with the universities they registered with and the second ary education institutions they graduated from. The values used in the study were transmitted from the YÖK ATLAS database by the data scraping (Web Scraping) method. Children who reg istered during open and remote operation were not included in the study, considering that they were minimally affected by the student's mobility. The result is a situation where approximately 621,000 students settled in a higher education institution in the 2021–2022 academic year, and 45% of them preferred a higher education institution that runs 100 km from the high school they graduated from. On a provincial basis, 36% of the students preferred a higher education institu tion in their province. It has been revealed that there is a strong relationship between the spatial proximity and mutual student mobility among the cities where student mobility occurs. However, it has been determined that the relevant data set does not fully comply with the gravity theory.
