5. If you only have half as many students as before
Edited on Sun Feb-14-10 08:49 AM by noamnety
then it might make sense to cut to half the buildings.

Personally, I'm a big proponent of the smaller schools. But it sounds like you average 285 students per building right now, and financially that is very difficult to support, especially if you are having to pay for heat and utilities (and mortgages) on buildings that are half empty.
