BREAKING NEWS – Washington, D.C. – The Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade is impacting some Gen Z students’ decision to attend college or remain in institutions located in certain states, survey data shows.
A July survey conducted by BestColleges found that 39% of students planning to enroll in an undergraduate program within the next 12 months said the court’s ruling will impact their decision, with 37% of current students claiming they would have opted to attend school in a different state if the decision had been made earlier.
Others say the Supreme Court’s decision had a more extreme impact.
“I want to leave the country [after graduating],” University of South Dakota junior Lexi McKee-Hemenway said, according to CNBC. “And I will do it if the U.S. government pays for my first class ticket to the country of my choosing, plus pay the rent and utilities in my new home for the first five years.”
