Having residential experience in a place can be one of the influential factors on migration propensity to that place. It is not possible to study this effect without taking into consideration other related factors. Thus, the theoretical model of the research has been formed by considering other determinants of migration propensity and using some migration theories. For evaluating the model and determining the effect of residential experience in Tehran on the rate of migration propensity to this city, non-Tehranian students of Tehran, Shiraz, and Mazandaran universities have been studied. Using the survey method, the final analysis on the 371 students' responses has been done. Residential experience in Tehran is one of the effective factors on migration propensity to Tehran. In two-factor analysis (T-test), there was a meaningful correlation between migration to Tehran and residential experience, but in multi-factor analysis (Path Analysis), the direct influence of residential experience on migration propensity was not meaningful; residential experience, with a 0.223 effect, indirectly influences migration propensity to Tehran. Regarding the results of the study, for the explanation of the effect of residential experience on migration propensity, the relative deprivation theory, E. Lee's Pull-Push Factors, and network theories can be used.
