<p>I’m not sure how many colleges will close, but I agree that many will be challenged by the demographics, especially LACs in the Northeast quarter of the country which have depended on “rich white kids”. The following schools aren’t about to disappear, but may well have student bodies weaker 10 years from now than today’s cohort-</p>
<p>Haverford
Vassar
Colgate
Hamilton
Smith
Oberlin
Colby
Bates
Bryn Mawr
Mount Holyoke
Kenyon
Bucknell
Holy Cross
Lafayette
Trinity
Bard
Franklin and Marshall
Union
Connecticut College
Dickinson
Skidmore</p>
<p>Some of these schools have deep pockets and will battle the numbers, but even schools like Smith already have more kids of modest means than they would prefer. If they didn’t, they would have need blind admissions.</p>
