There's been a big decline in high school seniors.
Further, the constant increase in the % going to college has declined.
And the middle class is getting squeezed while the upper class is going for quality.

On top of that a high % of these schools are in the midwest and northeast in states with relatively static or even declining overall population.

Just my opinion, but I believe that varies according to what political party is in power. This is what I mean: if you have a President and a Congress that supports the upper class. (i.e. Dem), the middle and lower classes are going to get squeezed. If you have a President and Congress that supports the lower and middle classes(i.e. GOP), expect to see more lower and middle class students in college. If the President and Congress majority are not the same, nothing happens.

LMAO. You have that reversed. Only class the GOP supports in the upper, upper class.
