Maybe students are being more selective about going to expensive schools without getting enough in scholarships or financial aid?
Or new high school graduates are waiting on going to college?

Or maybe parents are seeing what kind of messed up freaks are being pumped out of those indoctrination camps. Employers are seeing the same thing so I think a college ‘education’ is going the way of our currency… devalued.
From what I read, students WILL BE better off going thru a ";trade school"...something that requires a
physical ability to build,weld,repair. Out sourcing the PHYSICAL trades is harder to accomplish. IN ADDITION, when things hit the fan...a degree in "traditional" training is useless.
The other part of this equation is....middle class and lower r relying on CC and THAT DEBT IS GOING HIGHER.
oh and i just read.....the affluent r NOW SHOPPING AT WALMART....to stretch their budget.

And with AI becoming more common, trades like plumbing won't be replaced. Many starting corporate jobs will be replaced by AI. And just read in the WSJ today that corporations are reassessing whether college graduates without experience are as valuable as current workers who understand their industry.
So college graduates are taking longer than normal finding employment.

What should really burn all of us, on both sides, is that we are now ALL paying for college loans that Biden is using the buy votes. So just like Covid, we are paying for things that end up hurting us as a country. Although the woke mind virus is more harmful in the long term.
