andtheHomeoftheSIOUX!! Posted August 28, 2019 Posted August 28, 2019 Any predictions on 2019 Enrollment? I will note that the general consensus is that NDSU's enrollment is going to fall again. Edit: I will predict that UND's enrollment will be down a bit as well. Quote
UND1983 Posted August 28, 2019 Posted August 28, 2019 What happened to Lord Dean wanting to grow it to 20,000 or whatever he thought was a really cool number to reach? Quote
forksandspoons Posted August 28, 2019 Posted August 28, 2019 I read the UND freshman class is even smaller than last year. Not sure how transfers will offset that, but I'd guess enrollment will be down once again. Quote
homer Posted August 28, 2019 Posted August 28, 2019 Capturing online learning is an area I feel that past administrations set UND up well to succeed. We are in a much better spot than other area colleges. We could dig up past discussions on this board of some people stating that UND was doing the wrong thing in putting emphasis to online learning.

Oxbow6 Posted August 28, 2019 Posted August 28, 2019 My daughter is a Fr. at UND. Her first college class and teacher/instructor didn't show up. Know a couple of people "in the know" that expect enrollment to be down. Quote

The enrollment would drop like a Rock as Mizzou experienced. Quote

But yeah, really would rather avoid it being advertised that she went to NDSU. Regardless of political opinions, she's a disaster of a person lmaoo Quote
forksandspoons Posted August 29, 2019 Posted August 29, 2019 Down 73 from last year UND sees a slight dip in first-day enrollment, increase in graduate and transfer students https://www.grandforksherald.com/news/education/4636895-UND-sees-a-slight-dip-in-first-day-enrollment-increase-in-graduate-and-transfer-students Quote
jdub27 Posted August 29, 2019 Posted August 29, 2019 Freshman were down by around 150 which is something to pay attention to, but it is very encouraging to see the transfer and grad students up. Need to continue to keep those retainage numbers up. Quote

lawkota Posted September 6, 2019 Posted September 6, 2019 5 of UND's 14 Dorms not being used this year That seems like an awful lot of excess housing. Quote
Oxbow6 Posted September 6, 2019 Posted September 6, 2019 I remember when UND was housing freshman in hotels because the dorms didn't have enough space to house everyone. 2 Quote

northernraider Posted September 6, 2019 Posted September 6, 2019 I'm glad UND is consolidating forms, just makes the most fiscal sense. The long term trend is less college students available nationwide. Might be time to knock a couple of them down and work on the planning for dorms that are more like apartments to keep upper classmen on campus or able to accommodate future flucations. 1 Quote

Nice dorms would not doubt help with attendance as well. Quote

It was old 10 years ago when I was a freshman in that dorm, I can't imaging it being any better now. My roommate complained that he was too tall for the shower (he was 6'4) Then again it was an all girls dorm until 2009-2010 when the made it co-ed. Quote

'Scoring Noren" it was called when I was there from '87-'91. Quote
Cratter Posted September 7, 2019 Posted September 7, 2019 As I mentioned before. Tear down all the vacant dorms and then in a few years claim "We have no room. We need to build more dorms!" Quote
