Best news is Randolph finally getting over 600 with a nice bump this year. New RC Prez will have some momentum and coed fight is now well behind. I think Sweet Briar faces similar issues in near term. Most privates under some pressure due to economy/cost. LU continues to be constrained more by housing and room for more students than demand. Very wise to take slower growth approach now and grow the high demand areas like engineering, aviation and medical.
Money Magazine recently named Lynchburg a best place to retire under "college towns". Now that's news.

I wish that article would call out the outlandish and, quite frankly, sometimes unethical spending going on to get a couple handfuls of international students at LC...

I was sitting with a friend while watching our kids at Taekwondo a week or so ago and he was reading that issue of Money magazine. I nearly fell out of my chair when I saw Lynchburg at #5. I couldn't find the link online at the time but I am glad you did, badger74.

I appreciate seeing the other schools in town keeping their houses in order. And I agree with badger74's observations in regard to LU. That is exactly the approach the school is taking for the moment. But once the new circle is renovated it is so on.
