An excellent article from the Baltimore Sun analyzes the way in which colleges are reacting to the economic downturn. Here are some of the trends.
- More private colleges are turning to their waiting lists to fill their classes.
- More families are making deposits accepting admission to more then one institution, then bargaining hard for financial aid, pitting one school against the other.
- More students are questioning the value of a private education in a time of economic uncertainty.
- Enrollments at community colleges seem to be increasing.
