INLAND EMPIRE – The fall semester looms and enrollment at area colleges and universities is reflecting budget restraints.

San Bernardino Valley College and Crafton Hills College opened classes Monday with fewer students.

Riverside Community College follows later this month.

Next month, the University of Redlands welcomes 2400 students.

Enrollments at UC Riverside and Cal State San Bernardino are projected to increase, but only slightly. Last fall, UCR hit a record, but Cal State was down by 8 percent. (INT)
