FYI - St. Bonas had (yet another) big freshmen class, but their tuition discount rate is 60%. That's way too high and not sustainable over the long haul.

Would you choose to attend Olean only to move away after graduation, with most people only knowing your school from MBB? Today’s kids are more informed than my generation—they’re asking questions, crunching numbers, and realizing that a town of 2,000 with no job prospects isn’t appealing. They’d prefer online options or life in a big city. I don’t think students see the value in schools like Olean, Cortland, Geneseo, Oswego, or Plattsburgh unless they’re from those areas. There is a lot of SUNY schools in the middle of nowhere ie Oneonta or Morrisville - what do you do when you're a senior? Niagara stands out as a well-known institution, but it’s up to NU to find its unique niche. Where do you do internships? Does Olean even have a bank or large corp anymore? NU has the advantage

Great post larry

Not sure if anyone has been on campus lately but the amount of different ethnic groups is rather incredible. Kudos to NU for this. It is great to see. But with this likely came steep discounts to attract these students. The make up walking around looks like it should at a University. Very diverse.

Always be skeptical when any school releases freshman class data. All that matters is yield. What students pay out of pocket.

Another area of concern for NU is the number of PELL students whom attend. Great for opportunity. Awful for yield.

Again this isn’t an NU problem. It’s a private university problem. The model is not sustainable. There will be major changes in higher ed with in a decade.

A total reset. Similar to what happened after ww2 which was the last time higher ed saw a major shake up.
