Findings of the CCPE County Migration Survey for
Fall 2006

• With the exception of the University of
  Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL), Nebraskas public
  institutions draw 65 to 95 of their first-time
  freshmen from within their designated geographic
  service areas (GSAs).
• UNL is an institution that serves the entire
  state in terms of freshmen enrollment.
• First-time freshmen who delay going to college
  more than 12 months after high school graduation
  are most likely to attend an institution whose
  service area encompasses their county of
  residence.
• The enrollment patterns of the University of
  Nebraska at Omaha and Metropolitan Community
  College are distinctly similar to the enrollment
  patterns of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln
  and Southeast Community College.
