Pa. Today, Geneva College announced it has reached its present capacity for residential students. Thus, for the first time in the school's 150-year history, it has closed its admission of new students. This will not affect enrollment of part-time, commuter, or graduate students. The decision to stop taking applications for was made when the number of incoming freshmen and transfer students reached 420, breaking the record set two years ago.
Geneva students have good reason to want to return to the college.
Students will now be able to hook-up to the Internet from their rooms, too. Layton noted that there was some uncertainty about the enrollment figures earlier this year as Geneva graduated its largest class in May, with more than 500 students leaving campus with a diploma. Obviously, that's now the least of his worries. Several houses and buildings owned or leased by Geneva in the College Hill area of Beaver Falls have quickly been converted into mini dormitories. The caliber of students wanting to attend Geneva College has also allowed the school to be more selective in its admissions program.
