How Do Survey Populations Compare?
With 144 pieces of information on each of the 44 schools in The 2024 New England Survey, it is possible to view a wide range of detailed statistical profiles of individual colleges or universities, compare - or even merge - individual institutions with other institutions, and compare individual institutions with the entire Survey sample and subsets of the full Survey sample.
Here, examples are provided for the Survey and the subsets of the Survey used for illustration purposes - i.e. the 31 schools that would be at risk if its enrollments fell by 15% and the 13 schools that would not be at risk if its enrollments fell by 15% - with "at risk" defined as having enough cash flow from operations to cover cash expenses incurred in the course of normal operations plus debt retirement and fixed asset investments for less than 3 years.
THIS SECTION IS EVOLVING. NEW INSIGHTS WILL BE ADDED REGULARLY OVER TIME AND PARTICULARLY WHEN MULTI YEAR END TREND DATA IS AVAILABLE THROUGH 2025.
