State School with Large OOS Population?

hopter · 10-31-2009, 06:29 PM

What state schools have the largest percent of OOS students?

MPD14 · 10-31-2009, 06:35 PM

U Delaware is 64% OOS, it has the most OOS percentage of any public school.

1/3rd of the students at Clemson are from OOS

Wow ....that's a lot!

Alabama has about 20 - 23% OOS - but in some ways it's really higher since many Alabama in-state students are not native to the state. The state has a lot of transplants because of high-tech jobs, so many "in-state" kids are really from elsewhere.

For instance...

we're from Southern California...but we now live in AL and kids are at Bama.

One friend is from Wisconsin, but her kids are at Bama

Another friend is from Illinois, but her son is at Bama

Another friend is from PA, but her son is at Bama

Another friend is from Maryland, but her D is at Bama.

So....in-state is misleading....

40% of ga tech are OOS and international. The majority of rest 60% are northern transplants live in Gwinnett, Cobb and north Fulton county.

Most midwestern and NE state uni's seem to have 1/3 OOS.

I think both W&M and UVA are somewhere around 25-30% OOS.

WVU has about 40% from OOS

No, the terms in-state or OOS could not be more straight forward. Where someone is native-born has nothing to do with it.

From USAToday based on 2006-2007 year data, these are the top state schools, based on OOS percentages:

Vermont, Burlington: 72.7%

Delaware, Newark: 66.2%

North Dakota, Grand Forks: 54.2%

New Hampshire, Durham: 50.5%

West Virginia, Morgantown: 50.0%

Rhode Island, Kingston: 49.9%

Mississippi, Oxford: 47.4%

Iowa, Iowa City: 42.3%

Colorado, Boulder: 41.4%

Note: the article mentions that Vermont and Colorado will be reducing these rates due to in-state complaints.

Sorry, I agree with mom2collegekids on this.

If you are talking about who is paying in-state vs OOS tuition - then it's very straight forward. Or if you are talking about where students graduated from HS (which relates to the resident status) -then it is straight forward.

However, if you are trying to get a feel for the "diversity" of students (what backgrounds, experiences, cultures, etc they bring to a campus), it has no meaning.

There are MANY students considered in-state for residency purposes who have little to no connection with that state - other than the fact that they graduated HS there.

I know many kids who graduated in the past 2 years who are attending TX schools as in-state students. While all of them graduated from TX high schools, not one was in the state for more than 3 years, several for only 2 years, 1 for only 1 year.

Where were they FROM? All over the US (Louisiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, California, Nebraska, New York) and all over the world (UK, Norway, Canada, Venezuela, Azerbaijan). And those are only the ones I can think of off the top of my head.

If you ask my sons where they are "from" - well, first they will ask if you want the short version or the long version - but then they will tell you ......they are FROM New Orleans, they have LIVED in 3 countries on 3 continents, and they CURRENTLY LIVE in Texas.

And that all has ... what to do with the O.P's question?

Grcxx3 · 11-01-2009, 01:48 PM

It could have a lot to do with the OP question - if a student is looking for a large OOS student population because of a desire to have a campus full of students from a variety of places, backgrounds, beliefs etc.

All mom2collegekids and I are staying is that the stated OOS % does not necessarily fully represent the # of kids that are not "local."

Okay, fair enough.

Keilexandra · 11-01-2009, 08:09 PM

Yeah, UVM has more OOS students than UDel. But unlike Vermont, Delaware has no plans to cap the number of OOS students... there is already a guarantee program and promise of full need in place for in-staters. But not enough IS students want to stay in Delaware, almost always <30 minutes away.

This isn't a all of the public universities, but it is those who rank in the USNWR Top 75. Hope it helps!
