Will the economic downturn affect expansion?

[crescent&pearls]

I agree that I think we'll see a lot more students making a two year stop at a community college before investing in big college loans. Interesting that an article in my local paper last week reported that applications to Cal State schools are up 20% over the same period last year. There is a population bump among high school seniors that may carry over for a few years. Some students may choose to attend less expensive public schools over private, or attend campuses closer to home. So we could see expansion at schools that have been flat or not open to Greek life previously. Put the right product out there for the campus environment- including affordable cost of participation...there's a lot of potential for growth out there!
