Just wondering if you guys think tuition will be discounted because of the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly the Big 3?
Or is the Big 3 already considered heavily discounted compared to traditional means of earning a college degree that it won't be considered? Perhaps they might even increase tuition instead if there is an influx of online degree seekers because of quarantine to offset their on-campus losses? Or will an economic crisis caused by the pandemic lower tuition across all boards?
Many students have been protesting for partial and even full refunds arguing that online learning is not what they paid for whether it's the hands on experience in general, or other factors such losing access to facilities and equipment, closure of dorms, and even school cafeterias voiding their prepaid meal plans. Some universities have been accommodating, while other universities instead have higher online tuition costs claiming added costs of technical support and program development and marketing.
