I have a series of related questions regarding high school seniors and
college freshmen.  I've broken them into several postings.  "Going
away" means to live in a dormitory or other student housing, rather
than at home.

What percentage of college freshmen live on campus?

What percentage of high school graduates "go away" to college?

Approximately 75% to 80% of college freshmen live on-campus.

"This fall, 75 percent of college freshmen will move into dorms, the
majority living with a roommate for the first time in their lives."

"According to Florida International University in Miami, 80 percent of
college freshmen around the United States live in campus dorms."

"Nationally, 60 percent of high school graduates go on to college."

"In 1970, 44 percent of high school graduates went on to college and
50 percent of them graduated. Today, 60 percent of high school
graduates go on to college and 28 percent of them graduate four years
later."

If 60% of high school graduates go to college, and if 80% of those
individuals live in dorms, then 48% of high school graduates "go away"
to college.

Google search strategy:

Google Web Search: "percent of college freshmen" + "dorms"

Google Web Search: "percent of high school graduates go"

I hope this information is useful. If anything is unclear, or if a
