2011 Enrollment Up

[Boomer]

Any word on if our #s increased---ULM said they had a big increase----I am just wondering where all the schools stand as I think that the demographics show a decline in graduating high school seniors!!!!

boom, all i know for sure is that this incoming freshman class is the largest since 1999. i just hope we see most of them at the home opener on the 17th.

Southeastern is getting close to us as the second largest University. I guess they are taking everyone who can't get into LSU.

[SlappyCajun]

SE has been big for awhile now. They may actually pass us next year when our standards jump. More important to bump up our recruiting efforts in NOLA and E. of Baton Rouge.

SLU is all commuter, since a lot of population dumped onto the northshore their enrollment has increased.

Enrollment isn't everything. Think of SLU as UNO with football. Hammond and SLU are about as charming as a tick on the end of the nose of your date.

[VObserver]

SLU is UNO with football and without academics.

[MetryCajun]

Comparing SLU and UNO is crazy. UNO is a much better school. It is sad that people on the northshore actually think those two schools are equals. Some of the smartest people I have met in the oil industry are UNO grads. UNO must have the worst admissions/marketing group in the nation.
