With a total of six students in the first grade going on a school in the middle part of the country I tried to get answers to my questions. There are many things that affect students when they are facing what gymnasium program to choose and a very common answer by students in this study is that friends and work after school are some of the reasons for why students choose, for example, the machine program. The study also shows that parents has less influence of the students choice of gymnasium program and in fact, all students in this study made the choice to pick the machine program as their gymnasium program, but not always the machine program as their first choice.</p><p> </p><p>With the comparison of similar studies with my study the results are often in line with what other scientist have come up with. Work after school and friends or family are often decisive when students are choosing a gymnasium program.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Keywords: </strong>Machine program, student, apply for gymnasium program, affects of applying.</p>
