Visited family that live next to Texas A&M. Last time I visited was 3 years ago - massive change. Talking to my uncle who use to teach there - and keeps up with what's going on - and he said they are undergoing a massive build up. The engr. schools are expecting to add 25,000 students in the next 5 years, growing the school from 50,000 - to 75,000. What I want to know is how all these schools are growing so much when tuition is getting to the point where people are seriously thinking about alternatives to college?
