The research method used by researchers is a quantitative method using causality structural equations with the conception of the path analysis model research used to analyze patterns of relationships between variables to know the direct and indirect effects of independent (exogenous) variables on the dependent (endogenous) variable. Methods of data collection through surveys and distributing questionnaires, with a sample of 100 respondents. This study uses analytical toolsStructural Equation Modeling (SEM) using the program Partial Least Square (PLS). The research results found that, Tuition Fee a significant effect on trust. Promotion has no significant effect on trust. Tuition Fee significant effect on the number of students. The promotion has no significant effect on the number of students.
