What do you mean "spread around"? Commonwealth University is one school with multiple campuses. ;)

I only support Bloom.

Wow, that is a serious drop for a campus the size of Mansfield. Sounds as if they have some real problems there.

From a 2019 article:

PASSHE is predicting a continued decline in the number of high school graduates in Pennsylvania, especially after 2025.

So the worse is yet to come.

From a 2019 article:



So the worse is yet to come.

Adapt or die. Adult undergraduate students. Degree completion programs. Graduate students. Second career programs. Skill-based certificates.

Recruit the 17 year olds to play sports. At a school filled with grown ass adults. That's the only way to survive.

It interesting that Walk On U is down overall despite welcoming their largest freshman class in history.

Where did they lose?

IUP had the largest increase in numbers but East Dennyburg had a higher increase percentage.

IUP is coming back...just not on the foosball field.

As someone who makes a living off of other peoples taxes, thanks for the job.

Retention, Retention, Retention. Kids that leave, quit, and transfer. West Chester is the backup school for its region, and that's awesome, but the downside is some of those kids work to transfer to that #1 or #2 target. Probably UD, Drexel, and Villanova.
