Obama's plans for College Tuition

[peace123]

Historically when the economy is bad, student enrollment numbers increase (I used to work at a university). However, since tuition costs have skyrocketed so much since our last serious economic downturn, I'm not sure that will be the case this time.

I agree that historically when the economy is bad , student enrollment increases. I think you will definitely see numbers increase at state schools as people leave public schools they can no longer afford. Or as incoming students pick state schools over private.

I think this might be different this time around do to the fact the financial industry is tightening up on their loan criteria.

I think it is going to get harder for people to get private loans for education then it was in the past.
( But that is just my take on it from independent reading.)
