FIFTY-NINE SENIORS, 29 colleges: That's how life after Uni breaks down (at this point) for the Class of 2007.

Not surprisingly, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign is the most popular destination for Uni's impending graduates. Eighteen seniors plan to attend UIUC, one fewer than last year.

The next most popular schools attracted three seniors apiece: Michigan, Princeton, and Washington University in St. Louis. In 2006, Northwestern University and Wash U were the second most popular Uni choices, also with three students each.

Five schools will enroll two seniors each: Chicago, Cornell, Haverford, Knox, and MIT.

Twenty schools will greet one member of the senior class: Barnard, Beloit, Brandeis, Brown, California-Berkeley, California-San Diego, California-Santa Barbara, Caltech, Carleton, Columbia, Earlham, Harvard, Harvey Mudd, New York University, Puget Sound, St. Olaf, Southern Illlinois-Carbondale, Tufts, Wellesley, and Yale.

Six seniors intend to take next year off. In 2006, eight graduates opted for a “gap” year.

As is Uni tradition, college counselor Lisa Micele and the Student Services Office prepared a map for display in the first-floor hallway showing the Class of 2007's college destinations. Be sure to check it out!
