Opinion | JMU's ‘Live on Again’ contracts puts pressure on freshmen

The beginning of October marks an important decision for students, and it’s not just the strategic planning of their Halloween costumes. “Do you know where you are going to live next year?” Many freshmen get asked this question extremely early in the fall semester. More often than not, they have absolutely no clue. I certainly didn’t know when I was a freshman. Choosing where to live may seem like a simple decision, but in reality, it implies having figured out a lot of other variables. Students are not just picking which physical building they would like but also deciding upon sharing a room versus having their own, roommates, housemates, rent prices, landlords, proximity to campus, whether one needs (or can afford) a car and more. Sometimes it feels like committing to a particular friend group or being pushed out of one. What if someone hasn’t found their community but knows their doesn’t want to live with their roommate again?

Virginia's future college student pool is shrinking

Data: National Center for Education Statistics ; Chart: Erin Davis/Axios Visuals America's future college pipeline is growing in the South , but Virginia is bucking the trend. Why it matters: Colleges in shrinking markets will face a fierce fight for students, while those in growing regions will have to adapt to serve an expanding, more diverse student body. The nation's student pipeline is also becoming less white, more Latino , more first-generation and more cost-conscious . By the numbers: The number of U.S. high school graduates is projected to peak in 2025 and then fall 13% by 2041, per the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education (WICHE). The decline is especially steep in major college markets: California is projected to lose 29% of its high school graduates, New York 27% and Pennsylvania 17%. The South is projected to grow 3%. Zoom in: Virginia, however, is projected to lose 6% of its high school graduates over that same period. In its most recent enrollment projections , state higher-ed officials noted that Virginia's high school graduate count is projected to decline through 2033, tick back up in 2034, then continue falling. What they're saying: "The schools in the South do tend to
