Enrollment is down nearly across the board at the community colleges and state colleges that make up the Board of Regents.  There were three community colleges that saw an increase in students from 2012 to 2013, all the rest suffered declines. 

Western Connecticut State University had a 2.4 percent decline in enrollment.  Over the last 5 years the decline was nearly 7-percent. 

The only three to see an increase in students this year compared to last were Aspetuck, Gateway and Northwestern Connecticut community colleges. 

The numbers come from new statistics by the Connecticut Board of Regents for Higher Education Office of Policy and Research.  Overall the system saw a 1.8 percent decline in enrollment in 2013.
