| Almost every college my dc applied to had a dramatic increase in applications. Have any schools noticeably declined in popularity in your area? |

| They are having safety issues and it is scaring off people. This is a great school though so hopefully it gets figured out. |

| I think a lot of rural LACs don’t hold as much appeal as they did in my day (1980s)- kids today are more used to going out for sushi, good meals, instagramming photos in front of colorful outdoor murals, etc and less want to be in a town where a drive thru McDonalds is the highlight. The Ohio and PA LACs are taking the first hit but eventually may spread to the NE ones, too. It also shows in rising popularity of colleges like Northeastern, Temple, College of Charleston, etc. |

This is wishful thinking. Rice has grown in appeal. |

| Apparently Lake Forest College. I grew up in Lake Forest, IL and Lake Forest College was a great SLAC that attracted east coast kids. |
