Answer:

The price elasticity of demand for education at this university is highly inelastic.

Explanation:

The definition of elasticity of demand is the degree of change in the demand for a good with the change of its price.

In this case,  the change in the demand is very low, only 1 student of 300 will leave the university if the price increase.  

So we can say this demand is inelastic.
