While national undergraduate enrollment is down by nearly 6%, Transylvania\u2019s deposits for the fall term are up by almost 11% from last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This year\u2019s class, the largest since 2015, will be one of the first to enjoy full use of the brand-new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/campus\/life\/campus-center\/\">William T. Young Campus Center<\/a>, which houses a dining facility (catered by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/2021\/06\/transylvania-food-service-provider-announces-plan-to-reduce-carbon-emissions\/\">Bon App\u00e9tit<\/a>), weight room, game room, aquatic center and class and meeting spaces. They\u2019ll also be among the first students to participate and compete with Transylvania\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/2021\/01\/transylvania-university-steps-into-collegiate-esports-arena-with-plans-for-2021-22-season\/\">new esports program<\/a>. Students can also take advantage of a campus in downtown Lexington, Kentucky \u2014 one of the best college cities in America \u2014 and have access to modern facilities and comprehensive student services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe energy of the incoming class combined with returning students has us excited about the upcoming fall,\u201d says Johnnie Johnson, vice president for admissions. \u201cWe are looking forward to being in person in the classes, in the residence halls, in the dining halls and all over campus.&nbsp; We can\u2019t wait to deliver a true liberal arts education in the heart of a thriving city like Lexington.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Transylvania is planning to return to a full schedule of activities and events, including athletics, speakers, performing arts and student life programs, while taking proactive steps to ensure the health and safety of our community. The incoming Class of 2025 and returning students will benefit from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/healthy-at-transy\/\">Healthy at Transy<\/a> action plan, which prioritizes individual empowerment and community responsibility among students, faculty and staff.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Transylvania continues to enroll some of the best students from Kentucky and across the country, and the incoming class keeps to that tradition with an average grade point average of 3.71. They are bringing with them a record number of college credits due to a rise in dual enrollment during the COVID pandemic. Hailing from 19 different states, 20% of new students received scholarships through the Premier Scholars Program, which awards Transy\u2019s top academic scholarships.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Transylvania continues its commitment to diversity by awarding scholarships to students of different backgrounds. Continuing the rising trend from the last four incoming classes, nearly one-quarter of the class is composed of students with diverse racial, ethnic and nontraditional religious backgrounds, members of the LBGTQ+ community and those with disabilities. First-generation college students represent 22% of the newest class.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Class of 2025 brings to campus a large group of well-rounded students. Almost half of the class will participate in at least one of Transy\u2019s 27 NCAA Division III sports, and 18% of the class received scholarships for fine arts achievements, including vocal and instrumental music, theater acting and tech, studio art and creative writing. A socially conscious group, they will also benefit from being at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/2020\/09\/transylvania-among-washington-monthlys-top-10-liberal-arts-colleges-for-community-service-soars-in-overall-rankings\/\">one of the top 10 liberal arts colleges for community service<\/a>, joining 90% of students on campus who participate in community engagement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The incoming class also made Transylvania a priority in their college application process, with 50% of the class applying by the university\u2019s early action deadline of Oct. 31, 2020.
