Abstract	In an effort to challenge the dominant discourses of college access and highlight nondominant discourses of college access such as geographic racism and segregation, I employ a Critical Geographic College Access (CGCA) framework. This framework consists of critical geographic theories such as power-geometry and spatial mismatch. Using Geographic Information Systems (GIS), I conducted spatial and proximity analysis of urban and suburban areas of a county in Western New York. The results revealed a "college desert" in the urban core and a "college oasis" in the suburban periphery. Using a critical geographic approach, this article asserts that a depopulating city consisting of high concentrations of people of color has less college accessibility although more need than suburban areas.
