LendEDU surveyed 1,000 current high school seniors and college students and found that 30% of committed high school seniors will consider not enrolling or deferring their admission if learning stays online in the Fall. While 52% of current college students believe the pandemic will extend the time it takes them to graduate. Now more than ever, students and their parents are questioning the worth of taking out all those federal and private student loans to cover the high cost of college when getting a degree online is much cheaper.
