[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you think we will have a college "bubble"? You know, more colleges going out of business due to lower enrollment and such. [/quote]

And yet my DCs SLAC, which is ranked in the 40s so not top tier, is overenrolled by at least 10% for next year. Way more kids apparently accepted offers than expected. It seems like for every story of a challenge there are others that are exceeding expectations.[/quote]

If a school is in the top 40, and is over-enrolled, I'm not sure I'd call it "exceeding expectations."  I'd call it a very good school that did a poor job this year of predicting its yield.  [/quote]

I suppose you could say they did a poor job, but it was because more kids accepted offers than in prior years. Hard to predict that when there is a significant change in patterns over the course of one year.

I think you missed my point, which is not about one particular school but that there are schools who are thriving and attracting boatloads of students and those that seem to be suffering, even those with similar models (my DCs school is not significantly different from Reed or OWU in terms of what it offers).[/quote]
