[quote=Anonymous]Coming off the 2025-2026 admissions cycle, reports are that enrollments at Sewanee and Furman are both *up* 10-15% this year over last year, with both seeing the largest incoming classes in several years. Both are excellent LACs which cater to affluent students, but which (contra Colorado College and many northern LACs) primarily use their financial aid budgets to induce wealthier kids to attend. Looks like the Southern Surge continues, spreading out to LACs now from state schools and Vandy/Duke/Wake etc. I certainly think one lesson is that for all but the most selective LACs with huge endowments (e.g. Williams/Amherst/Swarthmore/Washington & Lee), wealthy families are simply not interested in paying ~$95k full price at lesser known schools for the privilege of funding FGLI access. Most SLACs/LACs had better get with the merit (e.g. discounted tuition) program, or they might find the customer base quickly losing interest.[/quote]
