<p>In his address to The UD Board of Trustees President Harker informed them that as of 5/10/11 3880 students had accepted admission to UD (paid deposits). While certainly some of these students will end up at other schools (for a variety of reasons) UD is still expecting a record number of students in the class of 2015. This actually happened about 3 years ago when more students choose to attend UD than expected. This seems to happen every now and then. I don’t believe this was intentional - no one can predict with certainty how many students offered admission will actually accept admission and attend. UD has built a number of new dorms over the last 5 years so I don’t think dorm space will be a significant problem. The majority of UD students live off campus after the first year. As these additional students will be spread out over many majors I don’t think class size will be significantly impacted either. Unlike many other major universities UD provides sufficient courses so that students should be able to graduate in 4 years (assuming they pass all the courses they take). I really wouldn’t worry to much about this issue.</p>
