Transfer Applications Up 30%

Great new article here from the Associated Press called "Economy sending students back home to college." Lots of students are leaving expensive private colleges and transferring to affordable public colleges close to home. Transfer applications are up an astonishing 30% at some schools.

The article notes that this move could lead to extra costs if some credits don't transfer, but public colleges are still worth a look. If your current college costs too much, transferring elsewhere might be an effective option for you.
