[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, many colleges don't have the land for new construction.

See if you can google the school's long range plan.

Generally, I'd consider no construction a blessing. Construction can be a pain and typically current students do not benefit much because new building takes a long time to complete. Example, one of my kids will start at a top school this fall. The main library is now under renovation for the next year or two. The main stadium was just knocked down. It would be worse where an old dorm is knocked down to build a new one if that temporarily reduces dorm space.[/quote]

Name any good school and you'll see either new construction or major renovations most years. The schools doing neither are the ones having financial problems [/quote]

This is interesting - maybe better than checking the Forbes bond ratings! [/quote]
Those ratings seem ridiculous. Reed having an A+ score next to colleges like Caltech, which have a much healthier financial record than them is puzzling.[/quote]
