[quote=Anonymous]I think what people here are missing is that elite universities often cannot expand because of NIMBY-ism. Affluent communities block them from constructing more dorms to grow their student bodies. Stanford, for instance, had a plan to grow their student body by 25% so they can accept more great applicants. However, NIMBYs in the Bay Area are attempting to block it. Stanford gave up. https://www.paloaltoonline.com/news/2019/11/01/stanford-withdraws-application-for-campus-expansion Universities in poor communities with low property values (UPenn, UChicago, USC, Yale, etc.) have all actually expanded their freshman classes. However, anywhere with high property values (Stanford, Harvard, MIT, Princeton, etc.) will have a much harder time building more dorms, dining halls, and the facilities necessary for larger freshman classes.
