“Williams is one of hundreds of thousands of students who decided to put off higher education this year. According to new data from the National Student Clearinghouse, undergraduate enrollment this fall declined by 3.6% from the fall of 2019.

Most of that decline occurred at community colleges, where enrollment fell by more than 10%, or more than 544,000 students.” (more)
