A study by the National Center for Education Statistics found that many chose not to enroll in college at the onset of the pandemic due to changes in their household’s income, concern about contracting COVID-19, and uncertainty around the class format. But as the effects of the pandemic subsided and schools resumed in-person learning, enrollment still lagged.

Best way to lower tuition is to allow student loans to be dischargeable in bankruptcy and to get the government out of the student loan business.
