And enrollment numbers at Colorado colleges are climbing faster than predicted. \n\nAt the University of Colorado, for example, enrollment grew by 3.5 percent this school year – that's substantially more than the 0.5 percent increase the school’s officials had expected.  \n\nSo, what’s behind the increase?
