译文与总结:
对于许多家庭来说,学校能做的最重要的事就是展现它们的财力. 最近, 资金雄厚的重点大学增加了它们的财政援助. 这让其他的大学备受压力.确定多少学生会被录取是一件不容易的事.这有关于要预计有多少申请者最后能够入学. 学生也许不喜欢被放在等候名单上,但差错却可能很高的代价. 一些大学就因为低估了接受入学的人数而不得不让新生入住酒店.今年, 经济不景气让招生人员担心一些家庭不能如期支付费用. 最近,从房屋市场到信贷市场的新问题也开始影响到学生的贷款.
大学也面临着生员变化的局面. 教育部估计,明年高中毕业生的人数将开始下降. 因为生于婴儿潮的最后一批孩子将完成他们的高中学习. 直至2015年人数才又回升.
