I remember just a few months ago bars and clubs being super packed and now there's hardly anybody at them. What's going on?

Edit: I'm in the Los Angeles area

All colleges went through the millennial wave, so there are fewer American college aged students to teach. It wouldn't be that big of a problem, but Trump's immigration policy is killing foreign enrollment, which is going to collapse a major revenue stream for universities.

    Schools don't make money on domestic students, so a drop in domestic enrollment isn't a major issue as long as foreign enrollment and research stays constant.

    Most private universities provide significant aid to students; they actively engage in price discrimination.

    Out of state tuition earns more than in-state, but there are additional fees that foreign students pay.

    As for the money, it goes into a lot of the facilities and university operations. Universities are big clout chasers, so they will try to spend money to increase prestige.
