Fewer enroll at 6 state colleges

The article mentioned that Wayne State enjoyed an increase in student enrollment, with 223 more students enrolling this fall. The article also quotes Anthony Miller, a Wayne State freshman who picked the university over several other schools. ...The18-year-old from Troy said he wasn\'t even considering Wayne until he received mailings during his high school senior year that touted programs that lined up with his desire to become a surgeon. A campus visit also helped change his mind. \"I focused on a lot of specifics before I applied. I was totally against Wayne State because it was in Detroit and it might be unsafe. When I visited, it was fine and everybody was so nice.\" Miller received offers from Rochester College, Calvin College, Oakland University and Michigan State. Wayne State clinched the deal with guaranteed entry into its graduate medical school if Miller maintains a 3.6 grade-point average and excels in core curriculum classes.
