This publication still exists?
They just cherry pick articles off Mlive syndication. It was in Mlive GR Press, click, we put it in the Mdead Kalamazoo Gazette.
Biggest reason for the increase. GR is a rapidly growing city. If your kids can commute to a 4 year school your bill is half of what staying on campus is. It’s all about the commuter population.
Dutchies by nature are cheap. If Uter can save the VanHoogendort household $$ by commuting to Calvin, Aquinas, Cornerstone, Davenport, or Grand Valley that is what they’ll do. Lot of Dutchies in that area.
Western isn’t competing for commuters. KVCC is our commuter school, with 11,000 students, many who transfer to Western for their last two years. Western is competing for students who want “the college experience” i.e. MSU. If a kid gets accepted at Western and MSU the Sparty’s win every time because the over all college experience is better.
