Tuition/cost are important, but so are online options
Results from a survey by Anthology emphasize that tuition and cost, followed by location, are still the most important factors in selecting a college — and they are especially important for current and prospective community college students — but next on the list is the availability of online courses.
About 77% of community college respondents said tuition and cost rank as the first or second most important factor when researching higher education institutions to attend, according to the survey results reported in a white paper from the educational technology services company. But it’s the students’ responses to preferred course modalities that is eye-catching.
