The Massachusetts Institute of Technology may increase the size of its student body by more than 300 students if it is able to construct more housing, according to The New York Times. MIT's dean of admission, Stuart Schmill, said higher enrollments could increase MIT's revenue, according to Bloomberg News. Schmill told The Times that the institution's main goal is to expand the 4,200-person undergraduate student body to the size it was in the 1980s and 1990s, or approximately 4,500 students. Classes have become smaller over the past two decades because housing options were limited when MIT began requiring that freshmen live in dormitories, according to The Times. An increase in the undergraduate enrollment might not affect freshman admissions, as increased numbers of transfer students can also expand enrollment, Schmill told The Times.
