[quote=Anonymous]Let's calm down a bit. The population of the US when I entered college was 276 million. Today it is 330 million. That's an increase of 54 million people in the past 21 years. The number of "known" colleges has remained the same. The real challenge for private colleges outside the top 25 or so LACs and universities is simply cost, not the lack of students. These colleges don't have the names or prestige to justify their high tuition rates over going to your state university. And it looks like we're starting to see reductions in tuition at some some LACs. Because they have to, in order to attract students to stay alive. [/quote]
