The local community college here has tried the same thing, leasing space
from a local mall which has been pretty much abandoned.  The leases are
short enough that the college doesn't have extended expenses if its
enrollment drops, and the mall doesn't have to worry about having to turn
down a major client because of lack of space.  This seems like the ideal
solution to me.  Also, since the mall is located more centrally than the
college campus itself, the students have a much easier time getting to
class.  As a junior college, many of the students are older people who
hold full-time jobs and they can now make it easily to classes after
work.  Anyone else heard more about this?
