But I heard another admissions person say last week (while I was at Missouri ACAC) that her college wants to enroll more students from outside the state. It's not hard to figure out why: Students who cross borders (or who travel farther to college) are generally wealthier and have parents who are college-educated themselves, both of which make these students attractive targets. Since the number of these students who are likely to migrate is essentially fixed in any given year, the intent to recruit more of them is really an effort to get a bigger piece of the pie.
But some states have naturally stronger pulls; others export more because of a relative lack of opportunity based on a smaller selection of colleges. Where do students in your state come from? Is your state enrolling a lot of students from out of state, or do you send a lot away?
Here is some 2012 IPEDS data for you to look at.
Note:
There are two views of the data (note the tabs at the top).
On each of these two views, the columns--that is, the states listed across the top--represent the state where the colleges are located.
The rows represent the home states of the freshmen (this includes only domestic students, not international students on visas).
The box is colored by the percentage of students in the college's state that come from the state on the row.
For instance, hovering over this box on the first view, you'll see that 24.6% of students at colleges in Alabama came from Georgia:
The first (orange and gray) view shows only non-resident students; the second view (with the purple boxes) shows all freshmen. On that one, notice that Iowas enrolls 20% of all freshmen from Illinois. Knock it off, Iowa. Note the diagonal band where each state intersects with itself. And note the range in color on that diagonal.
How attractive is your state, and to which ones? It's an important question to ask before you assume you can swoop into a state and get more students.

It's summer time and it's time for DIY. I just want to share with you my very own version of "Recycle Your Old T-shirt into a Tank Top" and it's totally wearable. I think I've worn this creation of mine for about 5x already. It's really a head turner guys and this is totally popular this summer.
MATERIALS NEEDED:
Sharp Scissors
Large or Extra Large old pure cotton T-shirt with cute design.
Needle
Thread (same color of the cloth)
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Lay flat the t-shirt in the table and start cutting the sleeves carefully.
2. Cut the front neckline according to your desired length but don't over do it if you don't like to show off some serious cleavage.
3. Cut the back neckline separately according to your own length of how much skin you want to show. Do not cut the neckline all at once to avoid mistakes. Better be careful than have regrets later on.
4. Cut the bottom part of the T-shirt and stretch it gently to create that folded style.
5. Don't throw away yet the cut sleeves because we're going to use it to tie it into a knot at the back to create that racer back design.

Hi guys! Game of Thrones is back and I just can't help but to admire Cersei's hair color. But honestly, I secretly want to get Daenery's platinum blonde too. I'm a decisive type of person and decided right away that I want to have her hair color as soon as possible without breaking my piggy bank. So here's what I did.
Note: Do not wash your hair 2 or 3 days before bleaching your hair. The natural oil from your hair will protect your mane from bleach damage. In my case, it's a virgin hair since I didn't dyed nor rebonded my hair for 1 year and 3 months. I also cut off my waist-long hair to shoulder length 'coz I grew tired of maintaining it and the split ends are everywhere.
Here are the things you will need to get her hair color:
Gloves
Hair color brush
Plastic mixing container
5 sachets or a tub of bleach powder (Hortaleza or Epsa)
12% Oxidizing Lotion (Hortaleza or Epsa)
Deep Conditioner or Coconut Oil
Hair clips
Old T-shirt
Instructions:
1. Mix 1 sachet of bleach powder or a scoop of bleach powder (check instructions) with your oxidizing lotion.
2. Wear your gloves, old shirt, part your hair into sections and start applying the bleach paste.
3. Apply the bleach mix into thin strands of hair by starting at the bottom inner part of your head and leaving the roots for the last application.
4. Your hair will start to process in just a matter of minutes and apply the bleach application faster. Also find an assistant to check some spots you can't reach.
5. Leave the bleach into hair for about 30 minutes or until the color of Cersei's hair color is visible.
6. Rinse your hair with water first then apply shampoo and then conditioned it for 10 minutes.
7. Voila! You now have Cersei Lannister's hair color.
In my next post, my hair will be lighter than this 'coz I'm going platinum baybeh! If you're happy with this blonde then you'll just have to stop the process here but not in my case 'coz I'm that type of girl who want to crash out in her "Before I Reach 30 List" which says "Get a Platinum Blonde".
More Advice:
1. It's best if you grow out your hair first for 6 months or more before bleaching your hair. 2. Use coconut oil or apply deep conditioner to your hair and leave it over night after bleaching. 3. To prevent dryness and further breakage, refrain from using shampoo. 4. Avoid or refrain using hot tools. If your hair is naturally wavy, curl your hair using no heat techniques. 5. Trim breakage if there are any after bleaching your hair.
In my next bleach session which is next week, I will be on the "yellow" stage then hopefully to blonde next month. It's advisable not to bleach it right away in just one sitting to protect your hair from further damage. Let your hair heal and don't ever forget applying hair mask or conditioner when washing bleached hair.

It's advisable not to bleach it right away in just one sitting to protect your hair from further damage. Let your hair heal and don't ever forget applying hair mask or conditioner when washing bleached hair.
Now, let's start talking about the first process. Before bleaching, you must not wash your hair 2 days prior the bleaching session. Also, don't forget to make a skin test before bleaching to make sure you don't have any allergic reaction to hair bleach. You don't want to have a patchy hair right?
I've also read somewhere that it's better to apply virgin coconut oil to your hair 1 to 2 hours before bleaching. Coconut oil will also help the bleach glide easily to your hair.
On the day of bleaching your hair, the following things must be on hand.
A tub of hair bleach powder or liquid (available in HBC)
A large bottle of 12% oxidizing lotion (if using a bleach powder)
Hair clips
Hair color brush applicator
Plastic mixing bowl
Gloves
Shower cap or cling wrap or large plastic shopping bag
Old Shirt
Ear caps or anything to protect your ear (use cling wrap instead)
Old towel
Hair spray bottle with water (to rinse off bleach from skin)
Foil (optional)
Hair mask or Deep conditioner
Shampoo
Virgin coconut oil
A helping hand or Assistant (It's difficult to do it alone)
Step 1: Section hair into 4 parts. Hair must be dry.
Step 2: Mix the hair bleach with oxidizing lotion until you achieve the cake batter consistency. If you use the liquid bleach, skip this step.
Step 3: Always protect your hands with gloves, the ears with ear caps or cling wrap. Never forget to protect the neck area with an old towel or a cling wrap because bleach burns your skin and can cause serious allergic reactions to sensitive skins.
Step 4: Start at the bottom section of the hair before going up to the front. Apply immediately the bleach to the hair by taking thin sections and leaving an inch from the roots. The reason behind this is the roots is very near to the scalp and the heat from the scalp will make the bleaching process faster. You may or may not use foil to section hair. But in my case, I didn't use foil because I hate the sound of tin foil (it makes my teeth grit).
Step 5: Leave the bleach to your hair for about 30 to 40 minutes while covering it with a shower cap, cling wrap or plastic bag. The heat will make the process go faster. Always check your hair's elasticity or condition and be aware all the time because you might over processed and fry your hair. (This will lead to hair breakage)
Step 6: Do not leave the bleach from drying out to your hair. If this happens, apply oxidizing lotion to the area by using the hair brush applicator.
Step 7: Rinse the hair with water first to wash away the bleach then shampoo and apply conditioner when done if your hair have lifted 3x your original hair color or you've reached the color orange or brassy color.
Step 8: Towel dry and apply a lot of hair serum to your hair since bleaching strips off your hair's natural oils.
CONGRATULATIONS! You have just completed the FIRST STAGE to platinum hair.
Enjoy your hair for about 1 to 2 weeks before going to the second hair bleaching process. By this week, do not wash your hair everyday. If you can't avoid washing your hair, do not use shampoo for this will make your hair dry and brittle. Use hair mask or any hair treatment during this rest period. Also, refrain from using heat generating hair tools like hair iron and permer.
These are the photos of my hair during this stage. I feel like I'm Cersei Lannister when I look at myself in the mirror. Hey! I'm not talking about my face, I'm talking about my hair. LOL!
Again, 2 days prior bleaching your hair, do not wash it and apply virgin coconut oil 1 to 2 hours before hair bleaching.
The things you will need are still the same except for 1 thing. In this process, instead of using 12% oxidizing lotion, use a lower percent this time. Buy a 6% or 9% oxidizing lotion. Do not use 12% anymore because it will break your hair and trust me since I did it on some part of my hair.
I test a part of my hair using 12% oxidizing lotion on my second bleaching process and you'll see that at the side part of my ears, my hair broke off and it looks like I've shaved that part. If you don't want this to happen to you, don't cha evah! bleach it using 12% again or you'll go bald. LOL!
Anyway, the bleaching process is still the same like what you did 1 or 2 weeks ago. Just always check your hair during the bleaching session for signs of overprocessing like (a clump of hair fell off). In this case, immediately wash your hair but don't be afraid, it will not happen to you if you're just attentive to it. 20 to 30 minutes processing is enough. Do not go beyond 1 hour in this 2nd session.
After rinsing the bleach off, your hair must be really blonde right now and the orange or brassy color has finally turned to light yellow or in some case close to white hair.
Looking at the chart above, my hair is finally close to yellow/platinum. You may or may not proceed to the 3rd stage 'coz the result is pretty amazing already. In my case, I didn't proceed to 3rd stage anymore which is applying a WHITE hair color. I noticed that I hate the sight of my black roots coming out after 3 weeks from my 2nd bleaching process and decided not to color it to white anymore and choose a color closer to my roots color instead. It's really up to you to go over and bleach your roots every 4 weeks and I don't want to do it anymore 'coz my hair has gone desert dry.
CONGRATULATIONS! You are now 1 step away from achieving that perfect platinum blonde.
Have a 2 weeks or 1 month break before going to the 3rd and last process. Again, do not shampoo your hair regularly and only use conditioner and hair mask when washing hair. Also refrain from using heat generating hair tools and always apply hair serum 'coz your hair will tend to be very dry because bleaching strips off your hair's natural oil.
NOTE: You may or may not go beyond the 3rd process anymore because the second bleaching process is pretty light already. Do it at your own risk.
The last step is just to buy a white or platinum blonde hair color and use a 6% oxidizing lotion or if your hair color comes with an oxidizing lotion, just use what's included in the box.
This is the brand I use to my boyfriend's hair. This contains ammonia so it's cheaper. If you're allergic to ammonia, don't use this brand. It's better to buy the Manic Panic white or platinum blonde hair color.
You may use any brand of hair color you want like L'oreal, Revlon, Garnier, etc. as long as the color is lighter than your bleached hair to achieved that platinum blonde.
By the way, your hair must be dry before applying the hair color and just follow the instructions in the pack. Rinse it off when done, deep condition, and style the way you want.
YOU are now officially an Asian with a Platinum blonde hair.
Note:I applied the WHITE hair color to my boyfriend only and not on my hair 'coz I'm planning to color my hair into Silver Ash instead which I will post a photo below.
This is a video of me bleaching my boyfriend's hair for the 2nd time before applying the white hair color. You may color your hair after you bleach it for the 2nd time. You may or may not have a rest period before proceeding to the third step.
Anyway, this is what I did to my hair instead of coloring it WHITE. In my third stage, I choose silver ash instead 'coz I don't want to bleach my hair anymore if my roots grow.
Good thing I didn't use White color 'coz I think I love the Silver Ash better and I don't have to really worry about my roots growing up 'coz Silver Ash hair is better blended with black later on compared to platinum blonde blended with black roots.
Here's a photo of me with my 2nd stage blonde hair and my Silver Ash hair.

Yes! It's finally summer here in the Philippines and I can finally feel the Amihan wind. I don't have any vacation plans for this summer 'coz I'll be focusing on my blog and advance reading. I like to read when I'm just enjoying what I read and not for the sake of being pressured by our law professors. I'll be back to painting and DIY too and been thinking of changing my looks so I can surprise my friends when the school starts. I want to look different next school year for hopefully it will be my last year in law school. I need to enjoy this year and start taking things to the serious level for I will be having review classes already and I'm pretty sure I'll be bombarded with lots of school problems. By the way, my birthday is coming up and I still can't decide what to do in that day. I'm thinking of giving back to the community like feeding street children...or something like that..I'm not making it a promise yet 'coz I hate it when I can't keep my promises. Anyway, have fun listening to my summer playlist and tell me what you think about it by commenting below. Anything to add on? Just write it below. Thanks!!! xoxo Zhang

Diversity is a topic a lot of us in higher education think about and write about and work towards, and yet, we don't really have a common definition of what it means. At its most basic level, we simply talk about the percentage of our students who are non-white. And, of course, if you compare colleges today to those in the 1950's, this makes perfect sense, and allows us to give ourselves all a pat on the back.
But the success of Asian students over the past few decades has complicated this: While they are not white, their large numbers at the nation's most selective institutions, and performance on college admissions examinations, makes us occasionally shift the discussion to under-represented students of color, which today might include Native American and Alaska Natives, Latino or Hispanic students, African-American students, Asians who are Hawaiian or Pacific Islander, and students of two or more races or ethnicity. This of course causes us to wonder whether a student of mixed Asian/Caucasian ethnicity should count, and to remember that technically, Hispanic is not a race. It's all very confusing.
On top of that, there are institutions who serve large numbers of under-represented students (HBCUs, for instance) that are not very diverse in the clinical sense: Almost everyone enrolled in those institutions are African-American. How do we think about decribing diversity that makes sense to everyone?
One way to do it is to use a measure called Simpson's Diversity Index. You can read about it here if you'd like, but it essentially says that once you come up with a category and count the population, you can calculate the likelihood that choosing any two members at random presents a mismatch of type. For instance, at a college in Puerto Rico, if you randomly select two students, the chances they are of different ethnicities is probably very small: You'll usually get two Hispanic students. Go to Howard University, and odds are you'll select two African-American students on your trials. This translates into a lower Simpson's number. If you have a university that is truly more diverse in the ecological sense, you'll see that number go up. All the numbers in the index are between zero and one.
Of course, it's short-sighted to measure diversity just on race or ethnicity, but it's the thing we have the best data on. We can add other elements into the mix, but since the data are pre-aggregated, we cannot break the groups into subgroups (for instance, wealthy White students vs. poor White students.) This would yield better insight.
Look below. The first view shows all four-year, public and private not-for-profit colleges and universities in the US, and their Simpson's Diversity Index as calculated from total undergradute enrollment in 2013 Fall. On the first view, the bars are colored by freshman admissions rate, with an interesting theory suggesting that if your admit rate is low, you could be more diverse if you really wanted to be. In the tool tip that pops up when you hover over a bar (like in the screenshot right below), you'll see the breakdown of enrollment by ethnicity.
And if you hover over several bars in the same range, you'll see you can get to similar numbers in very different ways. So, even among diverse institutions, there are very different student body mixes in play.
On the second tab, you'll see some element of economic diversity added in: Pell Grant eligibility as a color. The chart is a scatter of Simpson's and Admission rates.
One note: I calculated the index two ways, using as the base number only those with known ethnicity, and then those whose ethnicity was not listed. I think the first number is probably a better tool, but I did include it the second in the tool if you're interested.
Do you see anything interesting here? I'd love to hear it.

Diversity is a topic a lot of us in higher education think about and write about and work towards, and yet, we don't really have a common definition of what it means. At its most basic level, we simply talk about the percentage of our students who are non-white. And, of course, if you compare colleges today to those in the 1950's, this makes perfect sense, and allows us to give ourselves all a pat on the back.
But the success of Asian students over the past few decades has complicated this: While they are not white, their large numbers at the nation's most selective institutions, and performance on college admissions examinations, makes us occasionally shift the discussion to under-represented students of color, which today might include Native American and Alaska Natives, Latino or Hispanic students, African-American students, Asians who are Hawaiian or Pacific Islander, and students of two or more races or ethnicity. This of course causes us to wonder whether a student of mixed Asian/Caucasian ethnicity should count, and to remember that technically, Hispanic is not a race. It's all very confusing.

This week, all the hype about college admissions comes out. Blah blah blah this college admitted only 7%. Blah blah blah Oh Yeah? We admitted only 6%! We're better.
So, I says to myself, "Myself, I says, what is the real measure of the best college?" And it became clear: The best college is the one everyone wants to copy!" And then I asked myself, "How do you do that?" "Why," I replied, "by copying the name."
So here are the most common names of colleges in America. As you can see, Columbia College and Bryan University are duking it out for the top spot. If DeVry got their act together, they could win every year, as an informal analysis says there are about a bazillion of them.
So, sorry Duke (if that is your real name.) Clearly, no one wants to be associated with the likes of you.
