Largest freshmen class in school history

Is what my son heard earlier today, does anyone know if this is accurate?

What I read was that we crossed the 25,000 mark and have the largest overall enrollment since 1982. It is also the largest number of "first time students" in 35 years.

The article I read was from the Lincoln Journal. I can't link to it right now, but should be easy to find

That's great news for my alma mater! Gotta wonder if it being a B1G school is making a difference or if it's something else.

The article mentioned that there was a tuition freeze and that helped. But it also said being in the B1G has helped, yes.
Largest enrollment ever, surpassing 1982 high. 3rd largest freshmen class

I saw an article last week on Missouri's enrollment and how it is down 25%. I wonder how much their enrollment being down has impacted other universities in the region.

All it means is that the drop-out rate is going to go UP. High school guidance counselors are sure they are doing a great job by getting more kids to 4-year-schools. They are wrong and it should be the complete opposite.

I tried searching without any luck. Is it possible for you to share the link?

Appreciate the responses, good stuff.

When I saw the thread title, I was half expecting commentary on the obesity epidemic.

Damn. My bad. Apologies to everyone. The article I read was actually from last year. Someone sent it to me thinking it was this year and I just accepted that. Went to link it to here and noticed the date on the article. Sorry...

"He believes UNL is set to grow to 35,000 students -- beyond the 30,000 target set by Perlman -- and double its research funding by 2025. One of his first jobs will be to find replacements for the two positions he currently occupies."

These are the plans of new chancellor Ronnie Green. 35,000 student at UNL would be very cool.
