College enrollment ups and downs

The Washington Post analyzed fall 2013 enrollment data for more than 80 colleges and universities in Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia. More than half had fewer students in fall 2013 than they did the previous year. Several had significant declines over three years. The analysis encompassed four-year schools in the public and private-nonprofit sectors. Numbers reflect total enrollment, including full-time, part-time, graduate and undergraduate students.
