New Jersey S153 mandates a study on the outmigration of high school graduates to out-of-State colleges.

New Jersey S153 directs the Secretary of Higher Education to conduct a comprehensive study on the outmigration of high school graduates to out-of-State colleges. The study will explore various factors contributing to this trend, including academic and socio-economic characteristics of students and their families, the academic quality of out-of-State institutions, and the impact of New Jersey's geographic size and students' desire for independent living. The study will involve surveys of high school seniors, guidance counselors, and a comparison of academic rankings.
