Scenes from the College Meltdown
Partly because COVID led many graduating high school students to defer applying to college last year, this year’s college application numbers set a record.

The decline in the U.S. birth rate that accelerated during the housing finance crash of 2008 is expected to diminish the pool of college-bound students starting in the next few years.
