Some colleges are failing and closing
ОглавлениеUnless it’s a school near you or that you have some personal connection with, you likely haven’t noticed the significant increase in colleges closing their doors and colleges cutting their prices.

Thus, some schools are struggling financially, and some are going under and closing their operations and campuses.
