Last year's class fall class was 4,441 and the 50% probability for this one is 4400 to 4600. Slightly more applications but a better yield percentage than what the univeristy was receiving in 2020.

One would prohibit public universities from requiring sophomores to live on campus, which would impact revenue and could present challenges in a small community like Athens with limited rental housing. “In Athens we need the dorms, the students need the dorms,” Viehweger said. “We firmly believe that living in dorms is a positive for students for their development and their continued success.” Room and board is Ohio University’s third-largest source of revenue, behind tuition and state appropriations. Removing mandatory housing requirements for sophomores will not only impact the budget but make it more challenging for the university to plan for how much dormitory space it needs. https://woub.org/2023/06/20/ohio-unversity-freshmen-enrol... / News out the state might prohibit universities requiring sophmores live in the dorms.

The incoming class boasts students from all 88 Ohio counties, 37 states, Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia. The University also saw significant growth in students from neighboring West Virginia, with more than 100 new first-year Bobcats hailing from the Mountain State, a 66 percent increase over last year. The class includes a record number of entering first-year students who will be the first in their family to earn a degree, at 1,138 or 25.5 percent of the class. The proportion of Athens campus Pell-eligible enrolled freshmen grew to 23.5 percent, an almost 3 percent increase year over year.

Their numbers are so big that its hard to maintain that mass without dipping lower into the applicant pool which they have the last couple of years. Regardless the entering class statistics are close to all time levels but have probably peaked.
