[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interesting to see that Young's numbers are as "low" as they are.  I thought the Two Rivers name would pump their  list up longer.[/quote]

I think its location ended up discouraging people from ranking it.  We ranked it but in the middle of our list, whereas the Main Two Rivers campus was at the top for us, simply because it is less convenient to access than both Main and other schools that we ranked above Young.  I have friends who chose not to list it at all, even though they listed Main Two Rivers, because of the location -- either the convenience factor and/or they didn't feel comfortable with the surrounding neighborhood.  Ultimately, even putting aside the neighborhood, it is so far east that it really isn't an attractive location commute-wise for anyone who isn't in Capitol Hill/Kingman/Carver/NoMa or immediately on the other side of the river.

I think the unknowns of the new campus -- what will the facility be like? will the program really be as good as Main?  Will the culture of Main effectively transfer over? -- also worked against it this year.  I suspect more people will be willing to deal with the commute in a few years after Young proves itself to be on par with Main.[/quote]
