[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Notice nearly all the colleges listed in the article no one has ever heard off. Also, the majority of schools closing are for-profit universities, which in general are unsavory.

Yes, a few small colleges are closing due to low enrollment.

[b]Meanwhile, other schools have opened up, like UC Merced with over 8,000 students[/b], Nevada State College with 4,000 students, Georgia Gwinnett College with over 10,000 students.

All those gains in new student spaces nearly make up (if no totally make up) for all the spaces lost when these tiny colleges shut down.

18 years old.  PRimarily for students in the San Joquin Valley.  It's a state school.  We're talking (and the article is talking about) LACs that are financially insolvent.  Merced will be kept afloat by the Cal taxpayers.  In fact, it was the passage of Prop 230 that allowed for it to be built because its construction was financed by state bonds.  Privates don't have that luxury of falling back onto the state.[/quote]
