京都私大、18歳人口減でも定員超え

Despite a declining 18-year-old population in Kyoto, private universities in the city are exceeding their enrollment quotas. Some institutions are reporting student intake rates as high as 130% of their capacity.

This trend suggests that private universities in Kyoto are attracting students from beyond the local demographic or are experiencing increased demand, leading to over-enrollment even as the pool of potential local students shrinks.

This situation highlights the challenges and strategies of private universities in Japan's aging society, particularly in historically popular educational hubs like Kyoto.
