 equivalents for the 1996-97 average enrollment period

Enrollment at L.A.-area colleges and universities is up nearly across the board. Practically every institution on this year's List reported more students in the 1996-1997 school year than the year before - and some increases were fairly dramatic. Mr. San Antonio College in Walnut, No. 3 on the List, jumped from 19,348 full-time equivalent students in 1995-1996 to 22,954 this year, a 19 percent gain.

With the rise in students came a corresponding increase, for most schools, in budgets and faculty. In fact, if the annual budgets for the top 10 colleges and universities are added up, there's a 5.6 percent increase in spending this school year over last year.

Ironically, one exception is Mr. San Antonio College, which will apparently be expected to do more with less; its budget was cut from $59.5 million last year to $59.2 million this year.
