multitude of diverse universities in this thriving market, enriching the educational

continues to grow, the market’s ascent brings both opportunities and challenges for
institutions like HUFLIT. Examining enrollment trends, demographic shifts, and the need

serving as the narrative’s focal point. Furthermore, it acts as a bridge connecting
