College enrollment continues to slide...
ModerateHokie • 05/24/23 11:20 AM ET

The absurd price tags finally reached the point people started calling "BS"
Zanderhokie • 05/24/23 04:45 PM ET

GS VT fan • 05/24/23 01:46 PM ET
many 2 year schools are basically free if you have grades
bigbadbird • 05/24/23 01:28 PM ET

I have a degree in Hotel and Restuarant Management and I do IT work
OrlandoHokie • 05/24/23 03:57 PM ET
How did you move into IT? Certifications? OJT?**
Baltimore Hokie • 05/24/23 04:09 PM ET
Both. First OJT then Cisco and Juniper certifications.
OrlandoHokie • 05/24/23 05:23 PM ET

HokieDan95 • 05/24/23 12:07 PM ET
Well, when students choose based on amenities, it's risky to
Pylons • 05/24/23 12:16 PM ET
I'd bet if a school like VT dropped prices and didn't try to keep up...
hokiehunter07 • 05/24/23 01:47 PM ET
Ivy's charge tuition based on what you can afford (need based tuition)
HokieToph • 05/24/23 04:05 PM ET
I doubt it.
Pylons • 05/24/23 02:23 PM ET
It's not sustainable. The result will be college country clubs**
ModerateHokie • 05/24/23 02:55 PM ET
I hear ya., but for how long have people been saying that?**
Pylons • 05/24/23 03:00 PM ET
Yep, there’s a lot more amenities at colleges than when
RJHokie • 05/24/23 12:25 PM ET
Its ridiculous. Toured Clemson with a neice, the new dining hall..

Tafkam Hokie • 05/24/23 11:31 AM ET
There is a stigma to joining a trade or apprentice school in many middle
RoswellGAHokie • 05/24/23 01:25 PM ET
you are absolutely correct**
radhokie1 • 05/25/23 08:40 AM ET
There's many days I'd rather be digging a ditch than sitting at this desk.**
1400E • 05/24/23 03:06 PM ET
Yup I wish I would’ve did a trade even if that wasn’t brewing
Brewing_Hokie • 05/24/23 12:31 PM ET
Even if you can pay as you go, the ROI should be considered
Pylons • 05/24/23 12:05 PM ET
At this point "pay as you go" almost certainly means
Tafkam Hokie • 05/24/23 12:43 PM ET
Fair enough
Pylons • 05/24/23 12:51 PM ET
This is true in general, but some schools, like VT and U Va

Was just interviewing at UT...they are seeing tremendous growth**
Pylons • 05/24/23 12:13 PM ET
Why is growth for sake of growth a good thing? These are not corporations**
ModerateHokie • 05/24/23 02:56 PM ET

Not sure why you're asking since that's not a claim I made.
Pylons • 05/24/23 03:04 PM ET
It was a rhetorical question. The answer is "it's not". **
ModerateHokie • 05/24/23 03:25 PM ET
Bigger schools sttracting students away from small and mid size**
