Nicer weather + lower costs = more college students

My homeschooled girls are now up to 7th grade, and there isn't anything about school that I miss. I'm beginning to think the same about college.

Illinois and Indiana must have beaches I've missed.

That certainly seems out of line with what is really going on in Alaska. The population continues to grow and the census count misses a lot of them. High school grads might be fewer, but GEDs are up. Much of the new population is in their twenties and may not be college types. A lot of kids just stop going to school so they can hang out, maybe start getting job.

You'd think Hawaii would do better in this regard :)

New Jersey is the perennial loser in the student migration wars: more of its residents leave the state to go to college than anywhere else in the country.
Not only do we leave the state for school, but a lot of us leave altogether. I miss the shore, Jersey corn and tomatoes. That's about it.

New Jersey is the perennial loser in the student migration wars: more of its residents leave the state to go to college than anywhere else in the country. After having driven through New Jersey twice this weekend, north-to-south and south-to-north (and paying dearly in tolls for that privilege.... just where does all that money go I wonder?), I don't know why anyone stays there.

Come for the scenery, stay for the aroma.

Illinois and Indiana must have beaches I've missed. Well, Jersey, NY and Mass all have some great beaches - so it must be more than that...

New Jersey is owned and operated by the Mafia. From the Governor's mansion on down; the most corrupt tax-rigged state in the union.

We homeschooled through 9th grade. We used the "dual credit" program at the local community college from 10th through 12th grade. Completely skipped high school, and had an AA, tuition free, at the same time he would have graduated high school. (I was more than happy to use the dual credit program because my head was exploding from trying to teach the higher maths and sciences, LOL.)
It worked wonderfully. Now he's 18 and transferring in as a Junior to our local state university. He'll live at home (the campus is only 4 miles from our home), and has qualified for the in state 100 percent tuition scholarship. So the Bachelor's degree will have been earned tuition free. I'm not complaining.

Those graphics are good, but they understate the issue. It's not just the number of people who are moving, it is the fact that they tend to be the more productive people.
