If this issue isn't addressed, the college will be filled with students who are in a constant struggle to survive. Another issue coming with the tidal wave of new students is the question of space and facilities. New buildings and additions to buildings need to constructed. In addition, remodeling of existing structures needs to occur. Potential students don't necessarily have to come to campus to attend college.
Colleges have the option to offer on-line courses.
However, there is a problem with that. In West County, there are many homes that don't have access to the Internet. There are some people who don't even own computers. The Internet provides many things to a college student, the key feature being the ability to research. What about that student who takes classes from 8 a.m. to noon then has to go to work to pay the bills.
