Oh, the Places They’re Going!: Seniors go far and wide to attend college

Graduation is just around the corner, which means high school seniors across the country will spend the next few months in anticipation of their next great adventure: college. While some Northwood seniors are content to stay in the great state of North Carolina, others have plans to travel far away from home. According to Niche Ink, 58 percent of high school graduates attend college within 100 miles of their hometown, 72 percent stay in-state and only 11 percent of students venture more than 500 miles from their hometown. Above is a map of some of the out-of-state places Northwood seniors are going next year.
