DID YOU KNOW?
An item in last week’s “Did You Know?” about the makeup of out-of-state students who enrolled at UofL this fall was missing a crucial state—Indiana. To clarify and update: All 50 states are represented in enrollment for Fall 2014, but more out-of-state students—1,422—hail from Indiana than any other state, according to preliminary data from the Office of Institutional Research. Ohio comes in second place with 327 and Illinois third with 239. The rest of the top 10: Florida (211), Tennessee (190), Georgia (157), California (148), Texas (132), North Carolina (118) and Pennsylvania (114). The state with the least students? Wyoming (2).
