'Colleges Are About to See a Big Decline in Applicants,' Says Jeff Selingo

I think that high sticker price is exactly why it will be colleges affected and not the trades.

I do think the elite academic schools will be fine. And we’re already seeing the climbing popularity of flagship state schools. I think the danger is most pronounced for colleges below the elite yet still expensive. Value shoppers will avoid them and the smart and/or rich will want something better academically or reputationally.
