The Chronicle of Higher Education's annual Almanac. This year, it's dated August 14th for 2026-2027 but most of the data is from 2024 with a bit from 2025. Still it is telling, and to me, quite surprising in places.

On the Road with Betsy Woolf – Northeastern University London

I was surprised at how picturesque the location is. Yes, the university really is down by the tranquil  waters of St. Katherine Docks.
