Only 16% attend a private college? I would of thought that was a higher number...

Between 1999 and 2009, undergrad enrollment at for-profit schools soared 539 percent compared with 32 percent for public institutions.

I find the must surprising is the growth between Both Texas and Florida. As a Floridian born and raise i must say that is about time that Florida has a better education system because the demand for it is a must.

I am really shocked that the fastest growing degrees is in park, recreation, leisure, and fitness studies.

I would like to see the statistics on non-traditional students now seeking degrees. I was also curious as to what the other 51% of incoming freshmen are politically affiliated with or have an affinity for~

I was really surprised to hear that "10. The annual family income of more than 47 percent of undergraduates is less than $40,000" With the ever increasing cost of college, It's hard to imagine how these 47% get the funds to continue in their education! We were told there are lots of scholarships out there that noone cashes in on - we just added to the statistic because we have been searching and applying to no avail!

I was surprised that Arizona State was largest state university. I find it sad that the field of education is dropping. We will be needing some great teachers to help this country in years to come.
