Sunny California days are numbered for many of the graduating Class of 2014, as fewer students this year have decided to attend an in-state school, according to a College and Career Center survey taken by 331 graduating seniors.

California is becoming a less desirable place for seniors for the past three years. Compared to 61 percent of graduating students in 2012 and 56 percent of seniors last year, only 53 percent will stay in California this fall. The top five most popular schools in California are the College of Marin, UC Davis, UCLA, Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, and UC Berkeley. Additionally, nearly 23 percent of the graduating class plans to attend a school in the Bay Area.

UCs have always been a popular destination for graduating seniors, but the percentage of students attending a UC has been on a steady decline.

This year, only 17 percent of the graduating class is attending a UC, compared to 24 percent last year and 30 percent in 2012.

Next year, Los Angeles is the city that the most of the Class of 2014 will call home.  UCLA and UCSB tied for the most applied-to school this year, each with 116 applicants from the Class of 2014.

The number of students attending a California junior or community colleges has decreased this year. Last year, 66 students planned on attending a California junior or community college, while this year, only 55 plan on it.

The top three colleges that rejected the most Redwood students are UCLA, UC Berkeley, and Cal Poly San Luis Obispo.
