The vast majority of high school students consider the political environment of a college before selecting where to attend school, a new study found.

The study, done by education marketing and consulting firm Echo Delta, found that 76% of high school students take state and campus political climate into consideration before deciding where to continue their educations. Weighed against other considerations, such as cost, education quality, and school location, political concerns account for about 20% of the final decision, according to the report.
