To find out how many students actually enroll, we can follow these steps:
1. Calculate the number of students accepted by the university.
The university accepts 70% of the applicants. Thus, if 20,000 students apply:
\[
\text{Number of accepted students} = 20,000 \times 0.70 = 14,000
\]
2. Calculate the number of students that actually enroll.
Of the accepted students, 25% actually enroll:
\[
\text{Number of enrolled students} = 14,000 \times 0.25 = 3,500
\]
Therefore, the number of students that would actually enroll is **3,500**.
