[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is why most people only want to go to a T20 school. [/quote]
 :roll:

Most of the big state schools are below T20, and they are fine.

I would be worried about the SLACs.[/quote]
I think its time to start worrying about private universities. Small liberal arts colleges have majors that don't cost much to operate and need a mid-sized endowment to stay alive. The small ones will die at the beginning, so is life.

Universities without mass popularity are screwed. Their departments cost immense amounts (Engineering, Nursing, and for every STEM department you not only have to fund bigger labs but a line of grad students), they have to house and feed a larger amount of students and they need it to actually be decent to compete with peer schools (*cough* High Point *cough), and they often have really big infrastructure projects attached such as medical centers (which are becoming more expensive and lowering in ROI). Many universities are running off of the budgets of medium-endowed small liberal arts colleges, which is really concerning. [/quote]
