Nearly four in five students at regional public universities are concerned that a financial emergency will prevent them from continuing school, and more than half say they are “just getting by” financially, according to a new report from the nonprofit think tank Third Way.
In a wide-ranging survey of 500 regional public university students, Third Way asked about finances, politics, artificial intelligence and what the media gets wrong about their college experience.
“Our cultural obsession with highly selective universities has created an unrealistic picture of who today’s college students really are and the types of institutions they attend. Despite being the place where access and opportunity meet, regional public universities have largely been under the radar, working hard to deliver affordable education that leads to well-paying jobs,” the authors wrote.
