All two institutions in the county provided detailed enrollment data at the time.
At least 9,110 people applied to Livingston County colleges in the 2022-23 school year.
NCES data shows that among them, around 4,298 students enrolled in the universities, including 4,224 in undergraduate and 74 in graduate programs. Only 4.3% of undergraduates transferred from another college or university.
The reported undergraduate student body is comprised mostly of white (79.7%) and Hispanic (7.1%) students.
Among the institutions that provided disclosed enrollment data, SUNY College at Geneseo stood out with the largest enrollment at the time, welcoming 4,184 students.
U.S. college enrollment has been in a downward trend since peaking at around 18.1 million students in 2010. Recent increases offered some relief, but experts project a steeper decline in 2025.
This decline is likely due to two main factors. First, the pool of young adults is shrinking as birth rates have fallen nearly 23% between 2007 and 2022. Second, the rising cost of higher education, including skyrocketing student loan debt. A 2023 Wall Street Journal report shows that more than half of Americans think a four-year degree is not worth the cost.
Some educational data is based on estimates. Shifting demographics among student populations can sometimes result in gender totals which do not equal 100%.
