Having lived in heavily Hispanic Dade County, many low SES students stayed local for college instead of going to Gainesville or Tallahassee for a variety of reasons:
1 - Saving money on living expenses by staying at home.
2 - Attending a community college instead of a 4 year school.
3 - More availability of part time work.
4 - Staying inside the Dade County bubble where many people speak Spanish instead of going to school in “redneck” north Florida.
Those are probably similar to the reasons some kids choose to go to Wayne State instead of UM, GSU instead of UGA or VCU instead of UVA.
