Ohio University Sees Decline in Freshman Enrollment
Admissions director Jerry Reese projects 3800 freshmen this fall at Ohio University Athens, down from about 4000 last year due to selective service changes rising college costs and a softer job market. Housing capacity should reach to full by fall with upperclass housing contracts up slightly. Overall enrollment on the Athens campus will approximate last year’s total of 18764, officials said.
