But is that 26k number full time students? I meant that if a student taking one class and a student that is full time both figure into that number, then the full-time equivalency is saying that 4 students taking 3 credits each count as one student in the FTE. Either way, it is a much bigger number than I might have expected.
No chance this happens. Out-of-state tuition brings money into the state. UI, ISU, UNI and all the private colleges have a duty to educate as many Iowans as they can. Unfortunately, due to the outflux of educated, young Iowans, Iowa needs to take more chances on fringe candidates in hopes that they stay in the Iowa workforce.
IMO, the university needs to focus on increasing graduation rates, particularly with worthless degrees. These people aren't receiving any sort of specialized skill or education, anyway. They are going to start at entry level at something unrelated, at least give them the tool to let them earn advancement.
What an amazing work Iowa State has done to push enrollment numbers up when many other institutions (especially small privates) are struggling to find new students. Kudos to all the people who works in admissions. Iowa State's welcoming environment and low cost certainly attracts students from surrounding states. Iowa State really has done nice job recruit and retain students to the university.

If this true than my son and 20 of his classmates are included in the ISU numbers.
A few other interesting tidbits:
ISU's undergraduate enrollment exceeds U of I's by more than 5,000.
Nonresidents make up 53% of the U of I's new freshman enrollment this fall, so Iowa residents continue to be the minority there (can you say University of Western Illinois?).

Everyone knows Sally Mason is such a fabulous coach that her enrollment just gets better as the year goes on, if only the official count was in November the Hoks would win.
ISU has never won most enrollment in the conference and just care about their enrollment compared to the Hoks (little brother who is bigger?).
Hoks are number 1, best party school all that matters.
Hoks purposely wanted enrollment lower so they can rebuild buildings once again next to a river that floods.

This is all I cared about. I've already stopped focusing on the rest of the semester.
33,241. That's it for me.

And projections have us continuing to grow!
As another poster pointed out, some key numbers are new Iowa students, we are blowing them away. Year after year, we will continue to grow our brand. Also, ALOT of U of Is students are professional (med and law).

I work in a group that helps recruit students through the admissions office and I wouldnt say it was capped this year, they are definitely emphasizing out of state students.
