In the end, the students are now not getting into classes they need because of less instructors, so their grad time is increasing alot. So you can either stop going to school and pay your loans soon, or continue going for classes that you 'dont want or really dont need' but atleast it keeps you a student so your loans/scholarhips don't get messed up. Downfall you grad with more debt.

Its a mess right now.
my father in law is a professor at temple and with the lower student count, they are trying to increase student count by offering better incentives including scholarships and grants.
