I'm just curious where the current trend is of where NEO students go to college at.

 

I know Kent St. and UA are growing.

Cleve St. has about half enrollment of UA and the same could be said in regards to CSU as related to Kent St.

 

Or are there more going to the areas private institutions?

 

 

None of the above?

 

Your question is interesting, but I don't really know how to answer it.  Unfortunately I think you'll find that the top kids in their respective high school classes are "flocking" out of the region to the Ivies or schools like Michigan or Notre Dame.  The next tier of kids will look to Ohio State or Miami.

As an Ignatius grad, I've been able to follow the college trends of its grads over the past 20 years. As OSU has improved academically, a lot more Ignatius kids are attending OSU. My senior year (1992), we had almost 40 kids going to Miami (OH). That number has greatly changed. Miami has suffered while OSU has benefited. Otherwise, it seems like the same amount of kids are heading off to the Ivies, littlie Ivies, etc.

There seem to be about 12-15, sometimes more, St. Ignatius kids going to Dayton every year.  Heck there was almost that many in my dorm freshman year (about a decade ago) at UD.

There is usually a large contingent of Clevenders that go to UD.  From Ignatius, Ed's, and other catholic schools in the area (a lot of my Cleveland friends went to Padua).  Usually it seemed that Dayton was the back up for those that didn't get into Notre Dame.

"For many of the state's universities, the ability to

draw students from the major urban centers in Ohio is

critical since, as noted before, only six metropolitan

counties contribute over 50% of the students. Among

these six large counties, Cuyahoga is unique because

its local university, Cleveland State, draws a lower percentage

of the county's students than is true of the

other metropolitan counties with their own home universities.

Only 45% of Cuyahoga County's college-bound

students attend Cleveland State, as opposed to 72% of

Hamilton County's students choosing the University of

Cincinnati, and 72% of Franklin County's students attending

Ohio State.

 

Viewed from another perspective, Cuyahoga County

supplies 10% or more of the students at five different

universities: Bowling Green State, Central State, Cleveland

State, Kent State, and Ohio University. It seems that

the competition for students among the state universities

is most intense in Cuyahoga County, whereas, the other

larger metropolitan counties are primarily suppliers to

their local university."

i (and another poster) went to high school in lake county, and undergrad at case.

 

it seems like a lot of ppl in my high school class ended up going to Eastern Michigan.

Interesting.

 

In my day the pipeline was Eastside of Cleveland ---> Ohio State.  I couldnt tell you how many kids for the SH, CH, UH, B'wood, PP, EC, CF went to OSU.  It was crazy

Hmmm, I always got the impression that that part of town had a strong pipeline to Miami, too, well at least the kids that didn't go Ivy+.

I knew a few kids (more than I would have expected) that also went to EMU.  I think the school is part of a tuition reciprocation program in which Ohio kids are allowed to pay Michigan in-state tuition to attend.

I had about 15-20 from my Ignatius class of 03' go to University of Dayton but I honestly wish I would have went to CSU and saved on some of my loans. I know that the University of Dayton had a lot of people from the Cleveland area. Almost every class room there were about 4-6 people from NEO and the average class room size was about 25.

True and Oberlin.

 

I wanted to go to Yale, Pepperdine or USC.  My parents squashed that.

Yes, and Univ of Toledo has(d) numerous billboards in the Detroit area, offering in-state tuition to several counties in SE Michigan.

"Other poster" here.  My class actually had 6 people go to CWRU, which was surprising based on the very small size of the school and its reputation (not that it's bad, but it's sure no Solon or Shaker Heights).

 

From my wife's Lake County school (almost on the opposite end), there were always a high number of students going to BGSU, but I attribute that to her being from a cow-town (sorry BGSU people). :)

I worked with some people that went to University School in the summers while I was in high school and college, and it seems like about 90% of them went to Miami University.  Gilmour kids also seem to love Miami.  I'm sure there are stats to prove me wrong, but that's the impression I've always had.

There are a lot of NEO students, and many from Columbus at BGSU. But we don't have cows here. Mostly corn and tractors.

Cows, corn, and tractors are all the same to city-folk.

 

BGSU is a big school and draws from everywhere.  But it seemed like her school had a disproportionate number of students attending there.  I even knew a few from there that claimed "it reminds me of home".

Back in my day (1985 HS grad), I seem to recall most of my classmates going to Big 10 universities, while a significant portion of the remainder went to Ivy League schools. It seemed like Ivy League schools were mentioned heavily, or even the setting for many of the Brat Pack and John Hughes movies of the 1980s, so they had a little bit of their own advertising. But I went to Kent State because my sister had gone there and I grew to like the town and the campus. Today, outside of the campus, Kent is looking pretty ragged. After the Erie Yards closed about 1980, it has become what a lot of former industrial Ohio small towns are:  a bunch of left-behinds with retired/old people and poor young people.

So you're saying Florida will resemble Kent before long.

My yearbook listed where everyone was going to school from the graduating class.  The predominant schools (more than 10 kids) were OSU, OU, Miami, Kent and Dayton from what I remember.  I think OU and Kent had the highest penetration. 

 

Outside of that, there were people who went literally all over the country.  I would guess 15 different states were represented in pretty much every region...except I don't think anyone went to the Pacific Northwest.  Just in my family - 4 kids - we went to undergrad in Michigan, Virginia, Ohio and Pennsylvania and graduate school in Arizona, Illinois, and Ohio.

I think the public school kids seem to flock together.  My fellow CH-UH alumns, those who went to college, seemed to either tred to OSU or OU.  A LOT of my friends went to OU, but that might have just been a follow the crowd type deal.  The elite students went to elite colleges such as Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Brown, etc.  We had a alot of athletes that went to play in the MAC wherever they got offers.  Those on my football team that didn't get D-1 offers, sort of spread out.  I went to a small school in NC (Greensboro College).  Others went to schools such as Ashland, Hiram, Thiel, ONU, Wittenberg, etc.  Then, there were the kids who went to the traditional black colleges, Howard seeming like the most popular among people I knew.

 

I also attended University School my freshman year and kept in touch with some of my classmates even after I transferred back into CH-UH.  The disbursement of those students seemed much wider.  They really seemed all over the place, ending up at schools like UCLA, Fla St., Georgetown, the Ivies, and, yes, Miami (of course, 'Preppers' tend to like preppy schools I guess) 

I graduated from high school in '97 and was kind of shy so i stayed home and commuted to Youngstown State as did a good number of my friends. Many of my classmates (i'm in Trumbull Co. Warren/Youngstown), went to Kent Trumbull their first two years or went straight to Kent Main.

 

I took a five years off of school when i was working at Delphi Automotive and decided against going back to YSU. I ended up getting my Bachelor's in Business Managementn from Kent Trumbull while working. My boyfriend on the other hand did his undergrad and graduate degrees at OU.
