If enrollment stagnates or declines, the glut of student housing will plummet. I don't see that happening any time soon, though.

True it does seem that way, but all this infrastructure is being built with the expectation that the gov will continue to suppress interest rates for college loans
which gives students the wrong signal to go to school for 4 years when the market is not necessarily communicating that signal. Colleges will continue to build at a rapid rate with the continued expectation of that easy money flowing in. When the students graduate and aren't able to get jobs because market forces weren't dictating that they go to college, they won't be able to pay off their loans. And all the whole thing will collapse... Look for this to happen in the next 2-5 years and precipitate our next great economic crisis. Haha, all this to say, I agree with OP's vague message.
