I agree. There's a college nearby that's struggling. REALLY struggling. They were hurting before COVID. Then COVID happened and they're hemorrhaging $$$$. They've already signed a letter of intent with another local college to transfer many of the kids there. They don't have all of the programs at college b, but it gives them options and they wouldn't have to apply. They would transfer at their class level as well. If they survive the next year, it will be because they found alumni who handed over millions and I mean millions. They had a fundraiser to raise 7.5 million in June. Yup in 30 days during a pandemic they were fundraising for $7,500,000 and that was just to open the campus for the fall semester. If they can't be on campus for the fall semester, they're done. Room & board is what keeping them afloat. Same with many other colleges and universities from what I'm told by a VP of Campus Life at a college. He would not be surprised to see a lot of closures within the next 2-3 years.
