Undergraduate Student Geographic Origin The following two charts illustrate regional breakdowns of undergraduate students. Although the number of
undergraduate students from many of these New York State regions has remained relatively constant, the percentage of
undergraduates coming from Long Island increased steadily since fall 2007 whereas the number of students from New
York City has steadily decreased from fall 2006 to fall 2011. However, fall 2015’s figure of 21.5% is the fourth
consecutive fall where the percentage of undergraduates from New York City has increased. Local, out-of-state, and
International students have also seen decreases in enrollment in recent years.
