The number of U.S. university students declined by almost half a million last year, following years of growth, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
The decrease was driven by students 25 and older, with 419,000 fewer enrolled in the fall of 2012 from a year earlier, according to data the Census Bureau released today. The number of college students younger than 25 also declined.
