Fewer students applying- not a comment on the services either just fewer students. I was reading another post the other day about how the declining number of students was impacting smaller schools the hardest/potentially forcing them to close in the near future.

If people are starting to realize a BA in sociology or history is guaranteed to leave them with tens of thousands in student loan debt, but unlikely to lead to higher income to help pay those debts, there are a lot of departments at least that might dwindle.
Just a few years ago people on the internet were still shouting "I went to university for an education not a job. If I wanted a job I'd go to f*cking trade school!" I'm sure some still do, but I see that argument less often.
(also slightly offensive to people studying computer science, engineering, accounting, etc. - that's not "trade school")
