Yes I know I shouldn't feed the troll, but it'll be amusing to see the "answer. "

West Chester.

Their enrollment is now pushing 16,000. I would guestimate that they were at 4000 around 1980. In the same time period Cheyney went from 3000 down to 1200.

WCU is still growing too.

That's interesting. Bloomsburg still has 7 real residence halls, but all are co-ed now. Outside of that, there are 4 apartment complexes as well. I think freshmen still have to live in the residence halls, but outside of that, there aren't many restrictions.

I could be wrong, so if someone more familiar with the campus knows anything feel free to correct me.

Here's the breakdown: Kraus- abandoned, not sure if it will reopen or not
Rhoads- open, could be a traditional dorm still
Harner- demoed
Founders- Demoed
Bard- demoed
North- still in operation as a traditional dorm, heard rumors the Univ wants it for offices
Patterson- remodeled to suites
