More Chicago-area students call Mizzou home
COLUMBIA, Mo. – Students from Chicago and the rest of Illinois are increasingly calling the University of Missouri home.
The Chicago Tribune reported that Illinois students now make up more than 20 percent of Mizzou’s freshman class. That’s up from just 6 percent in 2000.
A recent Tribune analysis of U.S. Department of Education data found that nearly one-fourth of all first-time Illinois college students left the state, compared to 17 percent a decade earlier.
