Mods, Where Should I Put This?

Enrollment is down across the board but it was easy to predict that this would affect them specifically pretty badly.

UW is still growing, obviously.
 
Is this a real tweet? A real person? A real thing? This guy is an "AI student housing broker?" Can someone create technology to launch these people into the sun?

My assumption is people should be wising up to sending their kids to college just to go now and I would assume that would cut into the mid-level universities. It woudl have been nice to not have schools taking international students over in-state students for decades.
 
It's all the predictable factors, they aren't the only school but some of the comments are pretty funny, mostly from beavlet.

The one about his buddy turning down a full ride for the math program because it was in a basement 😆
 
Well, it's not like it's great where Game 1 I'm walking through the U-District and it looks like a different country, then walk by the HUB and there's a giant fucking 🏏 field now, that nobody was using on a Saturday.
 
UW has been riding on foreign and out of state applicants.

When those start to dwindle, they open up the gates to all the in staters that they’ve been rejecting for years. Thus further accelerating Cuog, CWU and EWUs enrollment drop.

It will hit UW soon enough. But relatively safe for the short term.

The fact is college is too fucking expensive and learning a trade and scaling that is a far better ROI than a degree in the current environment.

I don't see why out of state applicants and especially international applicants would dwindle though. That is the core problem, UW is able to absorb that because it's such a large school. More schools like Oregon are going to have to be forced to pander to international students, and the more retarded ones at that.

Completely agree about the cost of school, the fact that trades are a better option for probably most people, etc.

Throbber thinks the foreign admits will be limited by immigration policy and deportations. Also going to be a reckoning on grant dollars if there hasn't been already. Have to also think that the fuckery in taxation and budget issues with the State of Washington are going to impact funding as well. At some point, the pendulum will swing much more violently than people think - either due to people fleeing the state for economic reasons or voting common sense at some point.

UW is able to 'hide' cost inefficiencies because of scale right now. That won't last forever.

No clue on what the timeframe may be but it will trickle up to UW eventually.

Kinda tuggy, I know.

True. Same as the tail end of the Boomers/early GenX saw massive declines in birth rates from horny WWII GIs returning home/agriculture requiring fewer farm workers.

If you could walk and chew gum, you were getting into the UW along with pretty much any university in the country.
 
Yeah it was hard getting in back in mid 2000's. Now it's motherfucking.hard.edu and the road back to the 70's/80's/90's is much, much longer than you think.

This ain't Gonzaga.

I love walking around with UW degree, despite having been more Kewg material on acedemis in HS. Makes the shit talking more fun.
 
Birth rate for actual Americans is 1.57. IDK what it was for current undergrad students, most of whom would probably would have been born between 2003 and 2008, but I am going to safely assume it's under 2.

The government used to subsidize a lot of the tuiton cost up until the early 2000s. I've heard stories about how UCs were free and I've heard from my mom UW was extremely cheap like 60 years ago. Now you're expected to take out loans unless both parents are from money or are upper end professionals.

So fewer students. And f taking in thousands of foreigners instead of in-staters. I tried to not make this too Tuggy
