Most universities report some overcrowding, and a few students have been excluded or directed elsewhere.
Canterbury has 4675 enrolments, but by the week-end expects 4850. Last year’s roll was 4501. Lincoln College has had 635 enrolments—6l more than last year. Enrolments at Otago were 3900 by the week-end, com pared with 3732 last year.
