Interesting Article: College Cost Cuts

As I was traveling over the last two weeks, one question I asked of each admissions rep and student I met was the following: How has student life changed on campus as a result of the economic downturn? I got a wide variety of answers. Some schools were putting construction projects on hold; others were keeping only one cafeteria open on the weekends rather than two. In almost every case, though, the message was clear: colleges across the country are looking to become leaner and more efficient without sacrificing any part of the student experience. In most cases, changes have come that the students won't notice at all.

There's an article in today's New York Times that speaks to this point. Read it here: For Colleges, Small Cuts Add Up to Big Savings
