<p>“The worst recession in at least 50 years isn’t deterring families from paying twice or three times as much for college as they might. Rice University in Houston, Amherst College in Amherst, Massachusetts, and Williams College in Williamstown, Massachusetts – all costing $43,000 to more than $50,000 annually – are enrolling a higher percentage of accepted students than last year, the schools’ deans of admission said in interviews.
Parents are digging deeper to pay for colleges they deem best for their children’s future careers, said Chris Munoz, vice president for enrollment at Rice. Enrollment is a sign that consumers are recovering from recession shock as President Barack Obama wins support for his economic policies, said Richard T. Curtin, director of the monthly Reuters/University of Michigan Index of Consumer Sentiment.” </p>

<p>“It is definitely a surprise that as many students are accepting our offers in light of the economy,” Munoz said. Rice’s yield climbed to 36.7 percent, from 35 percent a year earlier, he said.</p>
