How do I find this information? It would be nice to see how the student enrollment has grown over the years. In particular (1979) - that was my first year there. Are there continuing infrastructure changes being done now - more classrooms, more housing, or is the internet is being used more as a way to mitigate crowding?

They bowled in the SEZ to provide more room for students (or at least fans). On a more serious note, I know enrollment was around 27,500 in 1983 when I started. I believe it stuck around 28-30,000 until mid 2000's when it started climbing.
edit: Rulzz has more accurate numbers and timeline. It was around 2010 that it started climbing.
I was there from 88-93. I believe the enrollment was around 24,000 at that time.18,000 undergrad and another 6 graduate students.
Edit: It may have been more like 3,500 to 4,000 graduate students. 22,000 - 23,000 total

2002 set a record at that time then after 4 years of declining numbers ISU ran off 10 years of increases in enrollment.
So basically a major jump began after the world was exposed to Georges Niang. Makes sense.
Have they stated what the ultimate goal is?
I know they had trouble housing all the students when the boom happened, but have they got all caught up on building new student housing?

Scare UI into running more of those cheesy “The University FOR Iowa” commercials.
I thought I read in Visions or the NewsFlash email that the university is pretty content at 36,000.
Heard to help find room for students ISU has a deal with people with apartments near Mortensen.

I would love to know the split between women and mrn. I know men outnumbered men while I was in school. Is that gap closing?

The university has details back to 1998 online.
I would figure the men would equal men, but hey....what do I know?
Before they finished Geoffroy Hall, yes. The only university-leased apartment building off-campus is Legacy Tower.
Current male to female ratio is 57:43.
They are. Former Vice President Hill once told me that 40,000 would be a structural limit, and ideally they don't want to come close to that.
They don't have any control over admission rate, so the only way to keep that number down is for enrollments and applications to decrease in rate. Unfortunately, I do think the state's budget combined with the enrollment increase has hurt the University's quality, and that decrease in quality is why enrollment will level off to a sustainable level.
Perhaps "quality" is a touch too strong a word, but definitely the superficial aspects of the university are a little poorer than when I started four years ago, perhaps other areas as well.

Just like recruiting . . . gender is fluid these days.
Rulzzz bud, any chance you can find fall of 90 enrollment? See what it was when I started.
