re: What are enrollment figures looking like this year?

I have to think the run away success of the SEC has helped lure students to the campuses, particularly for the schools that have traditionally been reasonably small. It certainly will change the college towns quite a bit. Fayetteville is more developed then it used to be when I was a student.

Sigh, the old days, vast herds of aging hippies and art students bumming smokes off of each other on Dixon. We didn't establish a sufficient captive breeding population to keep their numbers up in the wild and now they are endangered in all but the most filthy coffee houses. Let that be a warning to Oxford, Starkville, and the other SEC campuses.
