限界大学:入学者は「定員の3割」 逆風続く地方私大 起死回生の一手は

Many regional private universities in Japan are facing severe challenges, with some admitting only about 30% of their intended enrollment capacity. This trend highlights the ongoing difficulties for these institutions in attracting sufficient students. The declining birthrate and the concentration of students in metropolitan areas are significant contributing factors to this situation.

The survival of these regional universities is crucial for maintaining local economies and educational opportunities outside major cities.
