Survey: 1 In 8 Florida Incoming Freshmen Plan To Flee DeSantis's Education Policies

DeathSantis' policies are causing a good number of college students to either leave or look at leaving Florida to go to colleges/universities that are not RW nut houses.

A survey released today finds that among Florida’s incoming college freshmen, dissatisfaction with Governor Ron DeSantis’s education policies runs deep—in some cases, deep enough to make them look for college opportunities in another state.

In March, Intelligent.com surveyed over 1,000 Florida students, including 783 still in high school and 364 current undergrads.

Among the survey’s findings:

91% of prospective college students disagree with the governor’s policies.

1 in 8 graduating high school students won’t attend college in Florida due to education policy in the state.

1 in 20 current college students in the state plan to transfer because of those policies.
