This Map Shows The Most Desirable Colleges Per State
Infographic maps that start arguments are always great material, and this one will certainly accomplish that. The website eCollegeFinder put together the below map. It reveals which American colleges are the “most desirable” within the states they reside. The results are based on “which college received the most undergraduate applications in the fall of 2013,” using data from the National Center for Education Statistics’ Database.
Most of the results will come as no surprise, but there are some shockers in here.

Can someone down south explain to me why Tulane is more popular than LSU? Is it just the fact that they are in New Orleans?
10 years ago at 12:06 pmCause it’s a much better school academically
10 years ago at 12:10 pmBecause it’s a fun school for kids from the east coast/midwest to go to where there’s a lower chance of you getting shot.
10 years ago at 12:22 pmHighly Debatable. NOLA is called Chopper City for a reason. That being said, it is a great safety school for Ivy League rejects and carpetbaggers.
10 years ago at 1:17 pmIt should be Auburn. Just my opinion
10 years ago at 12:10 pmAuburn should just be pushed into georiga we don’t want that damn cow college in bama
10 years ago at 1:43 pmThat would suck for your state, since it has a higher alumni median salary than Bama
10 years ago at 2:15 pmBoise State is practically a community college.
10 years ago at 12:14 pmThis map is irrelevant. All it shows is which schools are big and easy to get into, for the most part.
10 years ago at 12:21 pmFUCLA
10 years ago at 12:43 pmpeople aren’t getting the phrase “most desirable” it has nothing to do with sports. in regards to the UCF matter, it got voted as the “most desirable” because of its life in that city and all of the things to do. If anyone here has been to Gainesville or Tallahassee they would know that there is absolutely nothing desirable to do there.
10 years ago at 1:10 pmYou clearly have never been to Gainesville or Tallahassee.
10 years ago at 11:53 pmBoise IS NOT A STATE!!!!! University of Idaho is 10000 times better in every way than BSU!!
10 years ago at 1:16 pmFirst off, nobody cares about Idaho. Second, state means state-funded or supported schools, hence the existence of schools like Kent State, Bowling Green State, etc. Take a lap.
10 years ago at 3:16 pm“Most applicants” does not equal “most desirable”. The same site that they got this information also has the percentage of applicants admitted who chose the school for enrollment. Add that to the formula, and you got something a lot more accurate.
10 years ago at 2:03 pmPenn state over UPenn? Ucla over stamford? UCF over UF? Lol ok
10 years ago at 2:38 pmWho do we hate? Boise State!
