It's stated at the beginning that transfers were counted as dropouts, so the data's pretty well useless.

Nice thought, but a minimum wage job (if they can get one without at least an Associate's degree) would take more like 8 years before they'd save enough to pay tuition, books, housing & food for 4 years of school, assuming that tuition rates froze right now.  By then, you're called a "non-traditional" student which for...more

So, this guy is basing the idea you can graduate from a 4 year college without any loans on tuition rates he paid for his degree 20 years ago?  What a waste of internet space. The branch college here charges over $800 per full-time semester not including books.  The state university is $3k per semester (soon to be in...more
