<p>...by 6.8 percent. Santa Barbara bucks UC trend by increasing its yield. What will this mean for frosh class sizes at UCSB?</p>

<p>For the UCs, as a group, they succeeded in reducing their enrollment as planned. Within the system, there were interesting divergences among campuses.</p>

<p>DECLINES by Campus from 2008 to 2009:
UC Santa Cruz: approx. 1000 students
UC Irvine: approx 700 students
UC Davis: approx 650
UCSD: approx 580
UCLA: approx 280</p>

<p>INCREASES BY CAMPUS from 2008 to 2009:
UC Santa Barbara: approx 210 students
UC Berkeley: approx 100
UC Riverside: approx 135
UC Merced: approx 300</p>

<p>While Santa Barbara is over-enrolled, UCR and UCM increases are planned.</p>

<p>Funny too because UCSB aimed to enroll less 275 less students than last year but ended up with more, as the yield rate went up from 20% to 23%. That probably means crowded classes and triples at the dorms, and probably stronger standards for admission next year. I’m glad that many people are realizing that UCSB is a great school and coming here though!</p>

<p>I think this is the broken link you had too:</p>

<p>I don’t think its about whether or not they think UCSB is a good school.</p>

<p>It is the fact that UCSB is technically “isolated” from the bigger populated areas of california.</p>

<p>As a person living in southern california, my first choices were UCLA, UCI, or UCR simply because they are closer to home.</p>

<p>Yeah but wouldn’t it’s isolation lead to a yield staying the same (if not lower?). Also, for me (from San Francisco), I definitely had UCSB above Davis because it was farther from home :)</p>

<p>Haha I volunteered for a triple, so that means if I do get a triple instead of a double I would then have to pay less for housing expenses and get more money back at the end of the year to repay my loans? :smiley: sounds awesome!</p>
