At the 141 school I work at its not great. We have some new signups but the big issue now seems to be that young guys who want to enroll cant get funding secured from banks. Banks don't want to take on the risk. Not sure if that's because of the future of the career path or because the banks are up to their necks in outstanding loans. If you can get a home equity loan different story, but if you're and 18-25 y/o with no credit history or assets its seems problematic.
