[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most universities get students from in state and surrounding states.  Enrollment is booming to the point of housing crisis at a lot of universities especially Texas, Florida, and Tennessee.  I don’t see applications to Vanderbilt going down either.  Perhaps the percentage of students from out of state/the Northeast abs West Coast  will go down, but those are a relatively small number of students for those schools.  Schools also recruit internationally.[/quote]

I think the risk is more of a long-term effect. Let's say you are one of the flagship universities in the above states -  Texas, Florida, or Tennessee. It's not about next year's class, but the quality of your undergrads and grad students in 20 years. It's about who will come for their post grad research and teaching and what papers they will publish and in what journals. It's about your professors and eventually the ability to get your new chemistry, business, or engineering building funded.

The flagship state universities in any state are unlikely to suffer any huge decrease in undergraduate enrollment for simple numbers reasons. It will just be that they may not get the cream of the cream of the crop anymore. And that has long-term trickle down effects that matter.[/quote]

And medical schools should suffer.  What would the best of the best want to  study medicine in a place where they are not even free to learn the most advanced and best standards of practicing modern medicine?[/quote]
