Class differences in educational decision making are important for inequality. A unique Swedish population-level database of university applications and individuals' ranking of different programs is used to analyze class differences in preferences for different program characteristics. Compared to individuals from service class backgrounds, individuals from, manual labor class backgrounds choose programs of shorter duration with lower grade point requirements located closer to their parents' home. Children from the service class instead prefer programs with higher earnings risk and avoid nontraditional institutions. Taken together, the differences in degree choice lead to substantial differences in expected earnings levels and expected un-employment risks.
