Determining optimal college locations

- Summary
- Metrics

Abstract

Relative location can be a critical determinant of the success or failure of a college. Central Place Theory, as developed in geographic studies of population distribution patterns, can provide insights into the problem of evaluating college locations. In this way the preferences of present and future students can be balanced against economic, academic, and political considerations.
