Cost of Living Hinders College Enrollment
Rising college tuition costs, outpacing inflation, are making community colleges a more attractive option for high school graduates. The significant increase in student loan debt further incentivizes students to pursue more affordable educational paths. This trend indicates a growing preference for community college education. A new EAB survey of 9,516 graduates indicates 67% of students who did not enroll in college cited the cost of living as the primary reason. This figure represents a increase from the previous 51% reported.
