Residence and Migration of College Students, Fall 1984.
Center for Education Statistics (ED/OERI), Washington, DC.
Results of the Residence and Migration Survey of college students for fall 1984 are summarized, based on the annual Higher Education General Information Survey (HEGIS). Data were reported by 2,883 of the 3,331 accredited institutions in the HEGIS universe. Attention was focused on: where state residents attend college, student in-migration from other states, students migrating from foreign countries, and net migration of students by state. Data include the number of first-time students enrolled in HEGIS institutions by state of residence, attendance in state or out of state, and institutional control (public/private); and the number of first-time students from foreign countries, by full-time or part-time attendance status, institutional control, and state of college attended. It was found that about 86% of first- time students attended college in their "home" state, and 14% went out of state. Texas and North Carolina led all states in the proportion of student residents who remained in their home state to attend college, followed by Arizona and California. (SW)
