Public colleges with most out-of-state students?

I'm considering going to a public college out of state, so I was wondering, which public colleges typically have a high number of out-of-state students? Thanks in advance!

There are several public universities that are known to have a substantial percentage of out-of-state undergraduate students. While the specific numbers might fluctuate every year, these institutions consistently draw a significant out-of-state student body:

1. University of Vermont: As of recent data, about 76% of its undergraduates come from out-of-state. Its scenic location and strong programs in environmental studies and natural resources might be a reason why many out-of-state students are attracted.

2. University of Colorado Boulder: About 43% of the undergraduate student body is from out-of-state. The school is known for its strong programs in science, engineering, and business.

3. University of Alabama: The undergraduate population has less in-state than out-of-state students. Known for their strong athletic program, they also have reputable business and engineering programs.

4. University of Michigan: Although not as high as some of the other universities on this list, the University of Michigan still has a significant out-of-state student population, making up about 45% of the undergraduate student body. UMich is known for strong programs across the board, from engineering and business to social sciences and humanities.

Each of these schools offers unique advantages, so consider what’s most important to you as you explore your options. This might be the strength of certain academic programs, social climate, location, cost, or a blend of several factors.
