If I was a pessimist I’d be concerned they are planning 120 in a single month, and classes of 60. We’ve never seen numbers like that before. That means the following month they could do 120, and they month after that 120, and so on.

Yes, according to the 19 year-old snobs that I keep introducing myself to near my local sorority houses.
