Within the framework of the cultural sociological approach, the article studies the cultural narratives that jus­tify the educational choice of students studying in higher education programs in Russian single­industry towns, as well as the institutional conditions that lead to these choices. The research was car­ried out in a qualitative strategy based on the results of 70 semi­structured bio­graphical and expert interviews with stu­dents and representatives of universities and enterprises of single­industry towns in the Sverdlovsk region. The field materi­als were interpreted using grounded the­ory and discourse analysis procedures.The study allowed to identify eight key narratives, namely: the narrative of dan­ger avoidance, the narrative of being trapped and liberated; the narrative of destiny and duty to the city and indus­try; the narrative of free time; the narra­tive of irreversible randomness; the nar­rative of continuing the family legacy; the narrative of pride in engineering; and the narrative of reliability and care. The au­thor describes the practices of interaction between universities and enterpris­es that determine the educational choice and include basic departments, organ­ization of student internships, joint ca­reer guidance activities for schoolchil­dren, and special scholarships with the obligation to work them out afterwards.­
