Source: U.S. Department of Education, National Center for Education Statistics, IPEDS enrollment survey. Institutions report the state of residence of freshmen who graduated from high school during the past 12 months. Institutions are required to report these data in even years; while reporting these data in odd years is optional. Therefore, the reported number of Minnesota residents going to college out of state in odd years is usually slightly lower than those in even years.
