"State-based rankings matter because in-state student
tuition discounts may be considerable," says Dr. Jed Macosko, academic director of
AcademicInfluence.com and professor of physics at Wake Forest University. "Other reasons students
give for staying within their home state may include closer
proximity to family and friends, familiarity with their favorite
places, and even a dedication to state schools they'd heard about
growing up."
