Dozens of local colleges and universities are seeing record numbers of freshman applicants, including Northeastern University, Boston University, Boston College, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and three campuses of the University of Massachusetts. Admissions officers say they feel overwhelmed, especially since many of their offices are already stretched. Of the area’s major schools, only Harvard and Tufts universities saw slight dips in applications - and they broke their records last year.

It was reported the Auditors found North Dakota(state) University enrolling too many foreign students!!?? This is an outcome I am surprised the Auditors do not find after examining each state university. If state university Boards all behave with the Wall Street mentality of the University of Massachusetts (and their various campus sites). The sad outcome is for the students who fail to graduate, but pay fees into perpetuity. Then they realize they are not going to get the degree they have worked so hard to obtain, and too ashamed to say anything they silently leave campus!
