The increase in residential
students is a hurdle that has made dorm space availability an issue,
but Lincoln College Vice-President of Student Services Rod Rumler
indicates that the increase in students in the residence halls is a
good problem to have.
"We’ve had a substantial increase in
student housing, and not too many private colleges can attest to
this fact," Rumler said.
"At the moment, we are still trying to
find enough beds to accommodate our student demands; however, we
believe when students move in, we will have the situation under
control."
Residential housing at Lincoln College
opened Aug. 25, with 335 freshmen scheduled to move into the dorms.
Lincoln College Director of Admissions
Tony Schilling says the new enrollment record reflects Lincoln
College’s goal for attracting more students.

"Lincoln College offers a residential
experience with a great supportive environment for those students
who need help with general education courses," Schilling said. "The
overwhelming response is the result of the Lincoln College admission
staff doing a great job by finding students who are looking for what
we offer."
Lincoln College has almost 800
full-time and part-time students at the Lincoln campus.
Lincoln College President Jack Nutt
says the growth reflects the college’s personal approach to helping
students work toward an associate degree. "Students are looking for
a place where they can receive quality education and personal
attention," he said. "Lincoln College provides those two elements,
and the enrollment figures are the proof."
Lincoln
College is a private, two-year liberal arts college, fully
accredited by the Commission on Institutions of Higher Education of
the North Central Association.
