Down 6.6% from Fall 2019. This is likely some combination of Covid making college temporarily less attractive (the social connections are just as important as the education) and lower-income students who have families that need them during the pandemic (community college enrollment dropped by a higher 13%). I would expect enrollment (at least at 4-year universities) to fully recover once the pandemic is well and truly over.
