[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If Harvard wants to expand capacity to 100,000 students they can find enough students who are willing to pay full price. But then who would want to go to Harvard in that case?[/quote]

Harvard can market its degrees by having a 2 tier system - in person and virtual.  They can charge the same and droves of people would coke.  They can even offer international students this option and get around any visa issues.  They are name brand so it all depends on how they want to make money.[/quote]

Harvard College, like many of the older schools and universities on the east coast, cannot grow due to lack of physical space.  If you want the first-year students to have the "Yard" experience, that is in a set amount of rooms dating back to 1763.  https://www.thecrimson.com/column/a-new-day-at-harvard/article/2021/2/12/berger-increase-undergrad-enrollment/[/quote]

In die time it will all be virtual and available to anyone with a pulse and funds.[/quote]
