[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]More revenue.....dorms open up in the spring semester bc so many study abroad. Need to fill those beds. Plus any attrition (though that's usually minimal).[/quote] I hear this a lot — about open beds in spring because of study abroad. I don’t understand the math. Those abroad students come back the next year. [/quote] Most of the schools that do this don't have housing all 4 years so they don't worry about juniors/seniors returning from abroad in terms of dorm capacity. I don't think it is an ideal start to college for most freshman but it can work for some. [/quote] It’s also about retention rate. The strategy creates a curated set of ‘transfers’ while capturing the first year tuition that would be lost to traditional transfers.[/quote]
