[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don’t you mean why do *SOME kids prefer urban campuses? Ours didn’t. They grew up here and wanted a totally different experience. [/quote]

Like middle of nowhere small town experience?[/quote]

For some, yes. [/quote]

It's not an exact science.
We are talking in general.[/quote]

Yes, in general, some people like the city and some people like the country.

In general, kids like urban setting.
Most applied private schools in the US are NYU, Northeastern, Boston Univ, USC. They are all in cities. Location helped the popularity of these schools. [/quote]

Those are private schools.  There are many publics that are far more popular with students - and that aren't in urban locations.

Not really…UCLA and UCB receive the most applications of any schools and are urban.  NYU receives over 100,000 applications which is also more than 98% of all colleges.[/quote]

UC Davis in the middle of nowhere received 99k apps.  Berkeley received 126k apps...not a huge difference.[/quote]

Well…it’s a 27k difference or 28% which is actually fairly significant.  UCLA is over 150k.  You have UT in Austin, Wisconsin in Madison, UC in San Diego, UC in Santa Barbara and many others.

Fact remains that urban schools actually have the most applications of any colleges so it’s hard to make the claim that PP made that there are many publics far more popular with students in non-urban areas.
