[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A lot of internationals are “full pay” and SLACs, in particular, rely on that $.  We all saw this coming.  Are you living under a rock?  Our American rising seniors will not have to compete with that sector, but many SLACs may go under.[/quote]

That so many international students are full pay means they'll have no problem with access to internet or computers in their home county. These are not impoverished students living in a shack without running water.

Universities have already been planning for a steep drop in enrollment. US-based students are taking gap years or going to community college so they don't have to pay the high fees for a distance-learning only environment.[/quote]

Just because someone is full pay doesn't mean they have access to the internet from their home country. You realize, someone could be a coal heir in West Virginia and not have internet access at home, right?[/quote]

We went to visit my in-laws in rural GA.  We make 300k. My in-laws aren’t wealthy, but have enough in retirement to gift both of my kids $10k a year for undergrad.  No cell service at their home from any provider. They are landline only.  Very weak and spotty internet. We were essentially cut off for the week, hoping we could get email downloaded once a day.  And this is Georgia, USA, UMC people.

Just because the UMC has great reliable internet in the DMV does not mean it is available all over the IS— and certainly not all over the world. [/quote]
