Georgia Southern University’s enrollment has reached a historic high, with 20,674 full-time students for fall semester 2016, the university recently announced. The increase of 215 students, including 136 additional new freshmen, amounts to 1 percent rise over last year’s enrollment of 20,459. But the university’s press release suggested that the 20,674 figure represents a step above the levels of approximately 20,500 students consistently experienced over the last five years.
