This article about NU’s CFO Tom Nedell talks about the high enrollment for the fall.
“Our enrollment yield rate -those who accept us after we accept them - has gone up significantly this year and that’s not something you can predict,” Nedell says. “In my mind it’s because in comparison to a lot of our peer schools, we came through the pandemic so successfully.”
As a parent of a freshman last year, I agree. So many of my son’s friends at other schools were not allowed on their campuses at all or were in dorms but with no in-person classes.
