I think a lot of kids are shying away from 4 year programs, especially the ones requiring grad school, because they're looking at the massive debt loads they'd have to assume to get through them.

I agree that this is the tip of the iceberg as smart kids without family money opt for 2 year programs that will pay the bills, pursuing a 4 year degree later on and part time. Most colleges are going to have to make tough choices about which programs to keep and which are done better by other in state schools.

(Don't flame me about schools in your state with superb programs, there are a few things here in NM that stack up well against anything out of state, they just don't come with famous names, which is why moneyed kids go elsewhere)
