I think you're thinking a lot more students come to Akron just to transfer somewhere else than there really are. I mean if that's their sole purpose, why would they go to a state university and pay high tuition rates instead of a community college? I know more people who have transferred into Akron rather than the other way around. Seems *most* that leave Akron leave because they fail out and end up at a community college because they have nowhere else to go. I haven't seen many use it as a stepping stone. In fact, I only know one person who did that, but know many transfers that came from the likes of OSU, Toledo, LSU, and even international universities.
