Pennsylvania the Top Destination of Traveling Students
Filed in archive College Admissions by Mark on July 11, 2005

(Source: University of Pennsylvania)Each year, Connecticut
and New Jersey battle for the title of chief exporter of talent. That is, they vie to see which sends a higher percentage of students to colleges in other states. The winner becomes the new brain drain champ.But where do they go? Which state is the chief importer? California? Florida? Texas? None of the above. Try nearby Pennsylvania, which recently overtook New York as the top destination for out-of-state freshmen.
According to the Greentree Gazette, Pennsylvania attracted 26,341 freshmen in a recent year. Of those, 75 percent attended a private college. New York was second, with 22,470 students. Massachusetts was third, followed by California and Florida.
I suppose I shouldn't be surprised. I'm from Massachusetts and went to a private college in Pennsylvania.
