That is the fall enrollment number for A&M (unofficial until October).

That is an increase of 751 from last fall. Note that it does include numbers from the Galveston and McAllen. The freshman class (10,772) is actually almost 4% smaller than last year. A&M claims the reduction in freshman class size was intentional and that the increase in overall numbers is a result of better retention of students and an increase in master's programs.

I would imagine that RELLIS helped A&M to decrease the freshman class size. I will be interested to see how many students are doing the RELLIS program this fall.

Does this mean Chem 101, Math 141/151, and Physics 218 are now easier?

Drilling down into the data, it looks like there are 981 more students in College Station this year compared to last year at A&M and the HSC.

Looks like a smaller Blinn Team this year?

Dr. Fierke also reported the class of freshman and other first year students at 10,772. That's a decrease of 3.9 percent of last year, but still above the university's goal of 10,500.
