Almost nine in ten Americans (87%) who have dropped out of college and other postsecondary programs said that the cost was a "very" or "moderately" reason why they did so, according to a new Gallup poll. Flexibility concerns and work conflicts, as well as time to complete the degrees and emotional stress followed suit.
The study surveyed over 14,000 current and prospective college students, including over 6,000 who are currently enrolled in a post-high school education program, 5,000 who previously were and 3,000 who never did so.
