Sounds like their enrollment had dropped like a rock, too |
Just looked at Niche for ENC - said enrollment below 400 students
And there is this This college is a failing institution that is subpar on all fronts. The dorms are falling apart and are in disrepair. Mice run rampant in the buildings, and through other public spaces on campus. The school does the bare minimum to “fix” these issues and gaslights students by telling them that these problems are “under control” despite them continuing year after year. In an effort to get money to fix the broken and shabby campus facilities, the school has allowed the state government to house Haitian migrants in their dorm spaces and has them spread across areas of the property. They are only doing this to try to save themselves financially. In conjunction with this, the school has increased tuition costs on the students. It is clear that the school views students (of which there are few) as cash machines, and does not care about providing the basic fundamentals of what a college should. You should stay far away from this sinking ship. This place will probably close soon. |
I don't understand why people enroll for schools like this. |
What college is ENC? |
The school that just announced a closure this week - eastern Nazarene college |
These are exactly the kinds of schools that are closing--regional universities/colleges without a national reputation/ranking and tiny endowments. They are a lot like community colleges, often serving a lower income population who trust a religious school. Eastern Nazarene is ranked in regional universities, and is in the mid 100s for just their region. This is not a school that is even in the 200 or so national liberal arts college rankings. |
