Are colleges at risk of closing?

For anyone who wants to compare the schools listed on Galloway’s blog to some other measures here’s a link. You can find the financial letter grades for the private schools on the Forbes page. Lots of variation from Galloway’s picks but it’s an honest discussion.

Financial stability is definitely a consideration. I’ve seen posts on CC where kids had to transfer because the budget was cut for their programs. Definitely on S21’s list of questions for prospective schools.
