Goree) Subject: On-Campus/Off-Campus Numbers Ed, I was surprised to see in our committee's outline yesterday the statement that increasing numbers of students will be living off-campus in the future. I didn't challenge it at the time because I wanted to double check my understanding of the current trends with Ed Spencer. Yesterday at lunch, and later in the e-mail message below, Ed confirmed what I had thought. The percentage of Blacksburg-campus students who will live ON-campus is expected to INCREASE, not decrease, in the coming years, because enrollment will remain constant and the number of on-campus beds will increase somewhat.
