IU, Purdue Students Seen by Zip Code

Wednesday July 9, 2008

An interesting little graphical representation of over 9,000 students at Indiana's two biggest schools, Indiana University and Purdue University, shows where in the state each of the school's students are coming from -- and where they go after they graduate.

The zip code data was released this week, and the Indy Star has plugged the data into an illustrated example of the sources and destinations of IU and Purdue students.

Surprisingly, the schools, which are rivals in the Big Ten, have remarkably similar demographic information, not just regarding where the students come from, but also where they go. So, despite what the students may passionately tell you about the vast differences between the schools, the student bodies themselves are more similar than they might like to hear!
