This statistic depicts the average number of colleges where students applied in the United States in 2018. During the survey, four percent of students in the United States applied to ten or more colleges.

This statistic shows the number of colleges or universities applied to by current and prospective college students in the United States in 2015. In 2015, about 31 percent of currently enrolled respondents had applied to only one higher education institution in the United States.

The proportion involved in an academic or applied research project among college professors, instructors, teachers or researchers in the past 5 years, by employment status, region, STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) and BHASE (business, humanities, health, arts, social science, education, legal studies, trades, services, natural resources and conservation) groupings and selected population characteristics.

This statistic shows the share of international students at universities of applied sciences in the Netherlands from 2006 to 2021. In 2006, approximately 5.1 percent on students at universities of applied sciences in the Netherlands were international students, whereas as of 2021, the share of international students studying at applied sciences universities had increased to 7.1 percent.

American College Football network of Girvan and Newman Mark Newman provides a football.gml file which contains the network of American football games between Division IA colleges during regular season Fall 2000. The file asks you to cite M. Girvan and M. E. J. Newman, Community structure in social and biological networks, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 99, 7821-7826 (2002). There are are two issues with the original GN file. First three teams met twice in one season so the graph is not simple. This is easily dealt with if required. Secondly, the assignments to conferences, the node values, seem to be for the 2001 season and not the 2000 season. The games do appear to be for the 2000 season as stated. For instance the Big West conference existed for football till 2000 while the Sun Belt conference was only started in 2001. Also there were 11 conferences and 5 independents in 2001 but 10 conferences and 8 independents in 2000. I have provided a set of files footballTSE* which define a simple graph with the correct conference assignments in the archive here. There is a read me file included with more details. Further information about the problems with this data and the solutions are given in T.S. Evans, “Clique Graphs and Overlapping Communities”, J. Stat. Mech. (2010) P12037 [arXiv:1009.0638] which would be the appropriate source to cite along with the original GN publication.Note that Gschwind et al, 2015, Social Network Analysis and Community Detection by Decomposing a Graph into Relaxed Cliques, independently finds similar errors in this data.

The research project Monitoring is dedicated to the various aspects of educational and occupational choices of high-school graduates and freshmen. Since 1995 high-school students who were in their senior year and college and university freshmen have been interviewed (telephone interview or written interview) in the form of representative surveys. The question topics were motives, information behaviour, decision-making and current developments in the education sector and the professional world. The main aim of the survey is to gain a scientific basis for the information service. Plans and their realisation are analysed in the temporal longitudinal section. The focus points of the survey are decision making and the satisfaction with the occupational choice as well as attitudes and values.

Invited talk given by Tim Evans (Imperial College London) at the EPSRC Workshop on "Scaling in Social Systems” held at the Saïd Business School, Oxford on 1st December 2011. Abstract:

The pattern of innovation seen through citations of academic papers has long fascinated academics. It has been known for at least fifty years that the data shows various long tailed distributions. In this talk I will look at some of the features of the data and show how to extract some simple universal patterns. I will discuss some of the implications of the results and some of the further questions it raises. •What is a citation? •What does an individual citation mean? •Is the data perfect? •Why citation count? •If not citation count, what else? •What does this data say about me? •Why h-index? •What is a self-citation? •How else can I use this data? •How will things change?

Tim S. Evans – Mini Biography Tim studied the mixture of quantum field theory and statistical physics in his PhD at Imperial College London. He was supervised by Prof. Ray Rivers who also supervised another speaker, Prof. Luis Bettencourt. Tim then spent time as a researcher at the University of Alberta in Edmonton Canada, before returning to research positions back here at Imperial, latterly as a Royal Society University Research Fellow. He was appointed to a lectureship at Imperial in 1997. Around 2003 he expanded his work on statistical physics to cover at problems in complexity, with a particular interest in network methods. This has included participation in an EU collaboration with social scientists on innovation, ―ISCOM, run in part by Prof. Geoff West (another speaker today). This fuelled his interest in social science applications and started an on going collaboration with an archaeologist.

There were approximately 18.58 million college students in the U.S. in 2022, with around 13.49 million enrolled in public colleges and a further 5.09 million students enrolled in private colleges. The figures are projected to remain relatively constant over the next few years.

What is the most expensive college in the U.S.? The overall number of higher education institutions in the U.S. totals around 4,000, and California is the state with the most. One important factor that students – and their parents – must consider before choosing a college is cost. With annual expenses totaling almost 78,000 U.S. dollars, Harvey Mudd College in California was the most expensive college for the 2021-2022 academic year. There are three major costs of college: tuition, room, and board. The difference in on-campus and off-campus accommodation costs is often negligible, but they can change greatly depending on the college town.

The differences between public and private colleges Public colleges, also called state colleges, are mostly funded by state governments. Private colleges, on the other hand, are not funded by the government but by private donors and endowments. Typically, private institutions are  much more expensive. Public colleges tend to offer different tuition fees for students based on whether they live in-state or out-of-state, while private colleges have the same tuition cost for every student.

All Ontario colleges of applied arts and technology must follow the standard for their programs – if one exists.

The standards do not tell you what specific courses you will take, or how you will take them. That’s up to each college.

What each standard does tell you is what you’ll know and be able to do by the time you graduate.

Although in-person college access programs can be effective, less is known about whether low-cost and scalable virtual interventions can achieve the same benefits. We evaluate two variants of a virtual college counseling program. Students randomly assigned to the program felt more supported applying to college and applied more broadly to four-year colleges, but were not more likely to be accepted or enroll. We analyze rich and extensive survey data to explore mechanisms and why the program did not improve college enrollment. We conclude that low-intensity programs may work for some students, but many probably need in-person and intensive help.

Percentage who have answered “Very good” or “Pretty good” to the question “What is your view of the possibility for the municipality’s residents to remain in the municipality while conducting post-secondary studies (e.g. college, university of applied sciences, etc.)” in Statistics Sweden’s citizen survey. Those who have replied “Do not know”/“No opinion” have been excluded. Data is available according to gender breakdown.
