Could the economy be affecting students' choice in college? Seems like it. According to an article by neighbor school San Jose State's newspaper, the California State University system has already received approx. 50,000 applications thus far, a 21% increase from last year. According to the CSU website, in-state tuition for SJSU, including all fees, room & boards, books, etc. is roughly $20,000, while the cost to attend Santa Clara University is roughly $50,000.
Update with Santa Clara application numbers to follow soon...

I just heard a story on NPR about high-school seniors curtailing their campus visits to save money. That sounds like a lot of students will be choosing lower-cost colleges.
