Very nice. UL, after just completing the addition of a host of new dorm space has begun work on the new campus student union that will overlook Cypress lake (alligators and all). I hope they do as nice a job with the layout and overview of the lake.

Very Nice

And people wonder why tuition is going up at 3X the rate of inflation.

What 's that matter when there are dozens of banks out there willing to lend 18-21 yr olds with no income tens of thousands of dollars of gov't subsidized loans.

Haven't we learned anything about another bubble that just recently burst?

That's neither here nor there, but much like the football facility race, you've got to keep up with the Memphis's and UTk's of the world in attracting students (and their student loan $$$'s).

When I started at MT in 93, the facilities were crap. We still have increasing enrollment every year. I don't think football is driving attendance. I think tuition rates and location are. What I see going on in colleges today reminds me of the housing bubble; They are remodelling their kitchens and expanding and trying to keep up with the Jone's. Unfortunately, no matter how insolvent a person is, you cannot file bankruptcy on student loans and this is driving tuition. The banks will lend any amount to anyone because they know they can simply garnish a persons wages without a court order. This won't change because in the eye of the bubba clan there are two types of people when it comes to student loans; those good old red blooded Americans that pay theirs and bums. Nevermind that both groups pay taxes and private business is profiting on government money and to a great extent. It's the perfect set up. Tons of upside on investment with no risk. Meanwhile the CEO of Sallie Mae builds his own private 18 hole golf course.
