just look at vegas/reno, dead city, actually dying before trump came in, he just accelerated it, plus state schools in west coast was suffering enrollment problems for the whole pandemic as well(prior to trump), last article i read is the schools are so desperate they have becoming offering easy admissions to the schools to hs students if they complete minimum amount of these courses, i dont know how long this will last, from what ive gathered almost everyone who was in school during the pandemic had really negative experience(dint learn much) after graduating. and people’s futures are uncertain as the schools arnt offering much in career development.

csu system felt like it was on the verge of collapse; i think only a few schools were not suffering severely.

UC doesnt seem to suffer the same effect though, at least not yet.
