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.

In the academic year of 2023/24, around 21 million students were enrolled for undergraduate degrees in the United States. This was a slight increase from the previous year, when 20.6 million students were enrolled as undergraduates.

Montgomery College Student Enrollment Data Update Frequency: Annually

The data here is from the report entitled Trends in Enrollment, Credit Attainment, and Remediation at Connecticut Public Universities and Community Colleges: Results from P20WIN for the High School Graduating Classes of 2010 through 2016. The report answers three questions: 1. Enrollment: What percentage of the graduating class enrolled in a Connecticut public university or community college (UCONN, the four Connecticut State Universities, and 12 Connecticut community colleges) within 16 months of graduation? 2. Credit Attainment: What percentage of those who enrolled in a Connecticut public university or community college within 16 months of graduation earned at least one year’s worth of credits (24 or more) within two years of enrollment? 3. Remediation: What percentage of those who enrolled in one of the four Connecticut State Universities or one of the 12 community colleges within 16 months of graduation took a remedial course within two years of enrollment? Notes on the data: School Credit: % Earning 24 Credits is a subset of the % Enrolled in 16 Months. School Remediation: % Enrolled in Remediation is a subset of the % Enrolled in 16 Months.

This dataset presents student enrollment figures at Hamad Bin Khalifa University, categorized by college, nationality (Qatari, Non-Qatari), and gender. It includes male, female, and total enrollment counts per group, offering insights into demographic and academic trends across the university’s colleges.

In 2022, about **** million male students were enrolled in degree-granting postsecondary institutions as undergraduates. This is compared to **** million female undergraduate students who were enrolled in that same year. By 2031, these figures are projected to increase to **** million and *** million respectively.

This dataset captures detailed enrollment information for Montgomery College students during the Fall term.

It includes demographics (gender, race, ethnicity, age group), academic program descriptions, campus attendance (Germantown, Rockville, Takoma Park), high school background, and geographic details such as city, county, state, and ZIP code.

Each row represents an individual student record, reflecting their educational path and location preferences.

From a data science or analytics perspective, various analyses can be performed:

• Trend Analysis: Track changes in student demographics or program enrollments over different Fall terms.
• Segmentation: Group students by age, race, status (full-time/part-time), or location to tailor interventions.
• Program Popularity: Determine which academic programs are most attractive to different student types.
• Geospatial Mapping: Use ZIP and city data to visualize student distribution and commuting patterns.

In 2020, ** percent of high school graduates from families in the lowest income quartile in the United States enrolled in college. This was a decrease of *** percent from the previous year.

The Higher Education General Information Survey (HEGIS) series was designed to provide comprehensive information on various aspects of postsecondary education in the United States and its territories (American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and the Marshall Islands) and Department of Defense schools outside the United States. Data are available for both public and private two-year and four-year institutions. The HEGIS Fall Enrollment component for 1969 sought enrollment data from 2,814 institutions of higher education. Key data elements, presented for up to five record types for each institution, include total enrollments of full-time and part-time students by class level, sex, race, and first-time enrollment status, as well as information on the institutions' type of accreditation, type of calendar system, and total number of students.

This dataset offers a comprehensive overview of student enrollment across various academic programs, integrating a wide range of variables related to personal demographics, academic performance, and macroeconomic indicators. It includes attributes such as marital status, application mode, and age at enrollment, providing valuable insights into student diversity and application preferences.

The dataset further explores educational backgrounds, encompassing prior academic qualifications and parental education levels, which may influence students’ academic trajectories. Additional features such as attendance preferences, nationality, and special needs status contribute to a nuanced understanding of the student population.

Academic data is detailed through curricular units from both the first and second semesters, capturing information on credits, evaluation outcomes, approvals, and grades. Moreover, the inclusion of economic indicators—such as the unemployment rate, inflation rate, and GDP—enables analysis of potential correlations between economic conditions and educational outcomes.

A key component of the dataset is the 'Target' variable, which serves as the focal point for predictive modeling or classification tasks. This label may represent student success, dropout risk, or another critical educational outcome, offering significant value for researchers and data analysts.

Overall, this dataset supports in-depth exploration of the multifaceted relationship between student attributes, academic performance, and broader socio-economic contexts.

University and college enrollment measures the total fall enrollment at the University of Illinois and Parkland College. Spring enrollment figures are not included in this indicator.

Enrollment at the University of Illinois has seen a steadily increasing trend since 2000, with a slight drop between 2006 and 2007, and again between 2022 and 2023. Enrollment at Parkland College has had less of a consistent trend, fluctuating between 2000 and 2011. Parkland College enrollment saw a sharp increase between 2011 and 2012, and decreased between 2012 and 2022. Parkland College enrollment increased in 2023 and 2024.

The University of Illinois and Parkland College are both important parts of the Champaign-Urbana community. Enrollment is an intuitive measure of an institution’s growth. Enrollment cannot paint a complete picture of any institution, but it is a solid starting point.

This data came from enrollment reports posted on the University of Illinois and Parkland College websites.

This paper examines if students' college outcomes are sensitive to access to college admissions tests. I construct a dataset of every test center location and district policy in the United States linked to the universe of individual testing records and a large sample of college enrollment records. I find evidence that SAT taking is responsive to the opening or closing of a testing center at a student's own or a neighboring high school and to policies that provide free in-school administration and default registration. Newly induced takers of high academic aptitude appear likely to attend and graduate from college. (JEL H75, I23, I28)
