Didn’t the metro population peak for a while after the first oil bust? Then the baby boom was over, then restricted admissions. I’m not at all surprised that the growth has been slowed consistently. And now more people are opting for skilled trades over a degree in history.

Yes they should count. Liberty is well over 100K. I thought Troy had a large online presence as well but their numbers dont seem to reflect that.

Has UL posted spring enrollment numbers yet?

According to the chart the population of Lafayette is up about 50% and the student about 25-30 percent. Guess the restrictions limits growth. We know that many juco students never matriculate to the university. Having said that under the old open admissions there’s probably more dropouts because of many reasons. Being prepared being one of the biggest along with money issues.
