Everything that one learns adds to this world view, even one at the end of the world, which is also the beginning of the world!

Usually students (try to) go to universities which offer the best education. It’s a new life experience often in combination with living in a new environment. Most are prepared to leave again after graduation for a job. Those students who grew up close by should know about the employment situation anyway.

Your task is education and preparation for life, not organizing jobs; and good students will “easily” find a job anywhere. That’s how life is nowadays: you have to be prepared to move where the jobs are. Have a look at your own CV! What would have happened to you if you always had stayed in the same place?!!

I think the question is whether you will have enough majors to make your program viable after they learn that they will have to move to get a job.

I am a retired college registrar. I worked at a small (2500 students) Christian college which became a university shortly before I retired. We had very little problem with students not wanting to move where the jobs were. Those who didn’t want to move usually had a boy friend or girl friend who was still attending college here.

Perhaps one reason we had little difficulty was that our students came from all over the U.S. and a number of foreign countries.
