Geographic Outcomes
The class of 2011 continues a Hamilton tradition whereby large numbers of graduates relocate to the three major east coast metropolitan areas of New York City, Boston, and Washington, D.C. However, this is the first class since we began doing this survey in 2000 that did not have a majority (more than 50%) of its members relocate to these three cities. 202 members moved to these three areas, or 45% of the respondents. Philadelphia was the fourth largest destination with nine students (2%).
