Which public universities have the most in-state students?

I'm an in-state student weighing my options and I want to see which public universities have a high population of in-state students. Maybe it'd be good to attend a place where local students are the majority?

Public universities often prioritize in-state students for admission since they are state-funded institutions. Among the universities with the highest percentages of in-state students, we can highlight the University of Alaska Fairbanks with approximately 92% in-state students, and the University of Nevada Las Vegas reporting about 89% in-state students. Also, the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill has a high percentage due to a state mandate that 82% of its students must be from in-state. On the other end, the University of Vermont only has about 25% in-state students.

While a good proportion of in-state students could result in a more local culture and community, it's equally important to consider other factors like academic programs, extracurriculars, and college fit. A college with a high population of in-state students can be a great choice if it aligns well with your academic and personal interests. Let me know if you need help with specific schools.
