Oregon Sees Increase in College Enrollment7/7 Enrollment at state universities climbs as unemployment remains a problemJULY 7, 2010 -- Oregon is benefiting from the recession – at least when it comes to student enrollment at our colleges and universities.
The Oregonian reports that the state's schools of high education are seeing record numbers of summer students and bracing for record-high enrollments this fall.
The Oregon University System projects enrollment will climb at its seven campuses by about 5-percent. The state's 17 community colleges all expect to grow, with some projecting increases as high as 25-percent.
Oregon universities are benefiting in part from California and Washington budget problems that are forcing their state universities to turn students away.
