College Destinations

After 13 years of helping over 300+ students, I’ve learned families prefer either in-state tuition or a campus within 800 miles of home. Students who leave the Northwest typically pursue specific majors or cities, a STEM-focused culture, value for dollar from scholarships, extended family proximity, prestige, and sunshine.
