We were already struggling to make our numbers. Now with the pandemic, it's not looking good. They already laid off a part of the admissions team. More to come. It's inevitable. I'd be surprised how many students return to pay $$$ for online classes. They should just take a leave for a semester or term and then decide if they want to return.

I don’t know how Cogswell is going to survive with the way enrollments and drops are going. And they are already on their last leg.
When I was a student there at a different campus, I remember how big we were. Close to 1000 students at any given time. I went and visited the new campus last year during the fall. I was considering the Masters program. It was shanky. There may have been like 400 students . The campus was sad looking. For once, I felt embarrassed as an alum. I wish I had never gone to see my alma mater. It’s a sight that can’t vm be unseen.
Students are withdrawing from the already small August start. I have other students asking about if Cogswell will be up and running in the Fall. Some are considering postponing because they don't want to pay for an online school. Can't blame them
I hear that our enrollments are down 20% than last year, about 100 students. We were struggling with numbers before the pandemic and with the pandemic, I just don't know how we're going to survive. Or even if we should at this point. Too many issues with the new leadership and direction.
I got laid off. Glad about it. New management was awful.
