Young professional adults are transient everywhere.

I actually heard son NPR once that kids who go to state schools are far more likely to settle down in-state.

Probably because the majority are from that state.

I used to live in Las Vegas. Most of the kids who went to college went to UNLV (4 yr) or the College of Southern Nevada (2 yr) or both.

Most of the kids were happy to stay where they grew up and went to college and it's got lots of jobs in the areas the colleges focus on (the colleges specialize in fields that have high local demand). It's really, really not surprising.

Yale imports students. Some stay, but they don't really have close ties to the area in the first place and the job market isn't especially enticing.
