re: What are enrollment figures looking like this year?

There was a brief period a decade ago when UCA was peaking and Arkansas had like 18k students, UCA was at around 14k and growing faster every year. People were speculating that UCA would outgrow Arkansas. Now UCA is back around 11,700 and we are steamrolling towards 28-30k.

That's because Fayetteville is beautiful, and U of Arkansas provides a flagship university experience. Why would you wanna go to Central Michigan when you have the option of Ann Arbor? Growth is going to water down oxford, but it's also necessary for Mississippi's economic health.
