You might not stick around in these states after college.

These states are terrible at hanging on to their college-bound students

Imagine if people were forced to attend college in their home state. If you’re from New Jersey, tough luck — there wouldn’t be room for 30 percent of your graduating class. New Jersey just doesn’t have that many colleges; the system would have to expand by 44 percent to accommodate everyone. This helps explain why a whopping 37 percent of students from New Jersey go to school outside of the state.

Vermont’s colleges, in contrast, have a surfeit of seats. But the state’s native sons and daughters have turned up their noses at hometown schools. Vermont has the highest rate — 45 percent — of people going to college out of state.

Overall, about a quarter of students move out of the state to attend college. This chart has the full story:

At the top of the chart are states where students like to stick around for college. In places like Utah, Arizona, and California, about 90 percent of college-bound students chose a school in their home state.

At the bottom of the chart are the unpopular states: Vermont, New Hampshire, Connecticut and New Jersey.
