"MEDFORD, Ore. - Southern Oregon University is seeing its highest winter enrollment of all time.
The university credits its increase to widespread recruitment.
SOU officials say more students are transferring from California community colleges than ever before.
California transfers can attend SOU for the same price as a student paying instate tuition.
With the decrease in Oregon funding for higher education, universities are reaching out to other students to encourage them to attend school in Oregon.
'Its easier for us to afford getting more out of state students to come here because the revenue they bring in is the same as a state student with tuition and state support,' said Jonathan Eldridge, V.P. of Student Affairs."
