A few interesting facts about college students:

“Some nine million students are enrolled at community colleges, accounting for 43 percent of America’s undergraduates.”

“Roughly 1.4 million undergraduate students are single mothers, making up 9 percent of America’s undergraduate population.”

“The playbook goes something like this:
1) Buy a pile of names of students from appropriately affluent ZIP codes and pitch them relentlessly with a gripping case for going far from home.

3) Set a high tuition price, creating the perception of value.
4) To make prospects feel especially exalted, offer a fat academic scholarship — but not so much that they aren’t still paying more than in-state students.”
