[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Serious question here:

What do you think will happen to the smaller public colleges in VA?   There has been a decline in enrollment, which is happening across the board.

What is the number of students where it is no longer feasible to maintain a campus and full curriculum?

I have a kid at one of these schools and we are very happy with the program/campus.  But, I am trying to be realistic and imagine what might happen since I don't see a big turn around in enrollment happening.  What do you think the state of VA would do with these schools?

I think it is hard to predict what will happen to those smaller public colleges now, but you will obviously see the trends over the next 5 plus years.  I also thought it was interesting to hear from the video that the largest decline in graduating HS seniors starting in 2025 will be from the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic States and the Midwest.  That does not bode well for small colleges in these ares.[/quote]
