<p>According to the Chronicle map I cited above, in the referenced year TOSU did not draw any freshmen from SD, Wyoming, Montana, Mississippi, or Alaska. It drew less than 10 students each from Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Nevado, Utah, NM, OK, Kansas, Nebraska, ND, Iowa, Arkansas, LA, Alabama, SC, Delaware, NH, VT, and Maine. From many of these, it drew only 1-5 freshmen. </p>

<br>
<p>According to the same Chronicle data, the number of freshmen from Illinois, Pennsylvania, California, New York, and Michigan ranged from 46 (MI) to 123 (Illinois). For the total student numbers to be as high as 500+ for any of these states, either the OOS enrollments must be fluctuating greatly (and Chronicle happened to pick a down year), or the numbers include many graduate students. </p>

<p>According to the 2011-12 Common Data Sets, section B, Iowa enrolled 305 Hispanic freshmen, 119 AA freshmen, and 3283 whites. In the same year, TOSU enrolled 273 Hispanic freshmen, 379 AA freshmen, and 5361 white freshmen. So the percentage of black and Hispanic freshmen at both schools was slightly higher at Iowa (12.9% at Iowa, 12.2% at TOSU). </p>
<p>I don’t have the 2011-12 CDS figures for Alabama. In 2010-11, Hispanics and African Americans comprised nearly 20% of the freshman class.</p>
<p>As for comparative geographic diversity, have another look at these two maps:
