<p>The out-of-state figures for the University of Wisconsin and the University of Minnesota are inflated somewhat by tuition reciprocity between the two schools. A lot of Twin Cities-area kids prefer to go to college in Madison and a lot of Wisconsinites, especially from western Wisconsin, prefer to go to school in the Twin Cities, but I’m not sure it should count much toward genuine geographic diversity to have Badgers temporarily become Gophers or vice versa, all at in-state tuition rates. They’re really hard to tell apart unless you get close enough to smell the cheese on the Wisconsinites’ breath.</p>
