Despite a recent study’s findings that college enrollment hit an all-time high in October 2008, the College has not seen dramatic fluctuations in its enrollment number in the past years...
Other factors contributing to the increase in enrollment include the “great recession” and an all-time high in the number of high school graduates—not to mention that the upswing continues a long-term trend, according to Richard A.

Given the College’s ambiguous pre-deadline statements as to how many applicants it would allow to stay on campus and which student needs would actually translate into dormitory swipe access, the decision to permit almost all J-term applicants to stay at Harvard in January is both encouraging and commendable...
