00:00what's happening it's shane here and in
00:02today's video we are going to be talking
00:04about some breaking news and that is
00:07that the pandemic might have actually
00:09halted the ridiculous rising cost of
00:12college now this is based off of a
00:14report by college board and i first read
00:17it on an article by cnbc make it but
00:19before we get into that make sure to

00:22subscribe button ring the notification
00:24bell and comment down below any thoughts
00:25comments criticisms etc that you have on
00:28the video now one thing to note here
00:29before this article came out at the
00:31beginning of the pandemic colleges were
00:34criticized because some of them actually
00:36raised their prices even though all
00:38classes were moved online now this makes
00:41a lot of sense for them to be criticized
00:43because obviously if classes are moved
00:45online that means for one the cost of
00:49the college itself is going to go down
00:51you know what that is a very very good
00:53point right so obviously it's not going
00:55to cost nearly as much money to host
00:57classes online versus hosting them in
01:00buildings when you host classes in
01:02buildings you have to have people that
01:03clean the bathrooms you have to have
01:05people that feed the students etc etc
01:07etc the list just goes on and on and on
01:10top of that the student experience was
01:12also diminished right so the experience
01:14that you get when you have in-person
01:16classes is not going to be the same
01:19experience as you get online this is why
01:21most students actually prefer in-person
01:24classes just to mention a few things
01:26it's less easy for you to meet new
01:28people that's part of the college
01:30experience meeting college friends it's
01:32less easy for you to network it's also a
01:35lot harder for you to pay attention and
01:37maintain the motivation to get all of
01:39your work done one thing that i've
01:41noticed in my life is it's very
01:43difficult for me uh for instance to
01:45study while i'm at home it's even more
01:47difficult if i try to study in my
01:49bedroom because you know that's the
01:51place where i sleep and so i instantly
01:53get tired when i try to study and there
01:55really is something to be said for you
01:57know going to places to do certain
02:01usually in college when i was studying i
02:03would either go to a coffee shop or the
02:05library and same thing with online
02:07classes it's a lot harder for me to pay
02:10attention if i'm at home and so if the
02:12campus is closed and all of the classes
02:14are online you simply are not getting
02:17most of the benefits that you would have
02:19gotten if you actually attended a normal
02:21brick and mortar university and so
02:23therefore the price should be reduced as
02:26well that's basically their thinking and
02:29have to say that i agree with that yeah
02:31yeah me too however college board just
02:34recently released a report that showed
02:36that the price increase of college has
02:38actually slowed down significantly since
02:40the beginning of the pandemic now
02:42tuition has historically risen about
02:44three percent per year
02:46and this last year tuition only rose at
02:50state or public universities by 1.1
02:53percent and at private universities by
02:55about 2.1 percent that's the lowest
02:58increase in 30 years but
03:01it's still increased right so i guess
03:03you could say this is a small victory so
03:05tuition didn't rise as much as it used
03:07to but it still rose whereas in my
03:11opinion and the opinion of many people
03:13out there they should at the very least
03:15freeze tuition right so make it to where
03:17it doesn't increase and this is exactly
03:19what several universities have done such
03:22as the university of michigan as well as
03:24duke now as more and more college start
03:26to go back to in-person learning and
03:29they're starting to open up their
03:30campuses you know it would make a little
03:32more sense for it to go back to normal
03:34now i did a poll on my youtube channel
03:36where i asked uh what type of classes
03:39people prefer do you prefer online or in
03:41person and keep in mind my youtube
03:44channel is overwhelmingly introverted
03:46right so i did another poll on it where
03:48i asked people whether they're
03:49introverted or extroverted and 50 of
03:52people said they were introverted 34
03:55said that they were both and 7 said that
03:57they were extroverted right so keep that
04:00most of the people on my channel are
04:02either introverted or they're kind of
04:04like both ambivert or they don't know
04:06right only seven percent of people who
04:08watch this channel are extroverted and
04:1178 of people who responded to the poll
04:14said that they would rather attend
04:15classes in person and i'll go ahead and
04:18read off a comment that i thought was
04:20very insightful from somebody who's
04:22actually currently taking classes that
04:23was on that poll smoke bond says hybrid
04:26but maybe more on the in-person side i
04:29like in-person classes because you feel
04:31more motivated at school or college you
04:33get to talk with your peers and teachers
04:35and you understand it better when the
04:37teacher is explaining on the board in
04:38front of you however i like online
04:40classes for flexibility including time
04:43management and not having to travel back
04:45and forth between school and home so
04:47basically this person was suggesting
04:49kind of a hybrid model where you take
04:51some of your classes online but most of
04:53your classes in person and that way you
04:55get kind of a good mix and match of both
04:58so i think moving forward that would be
04:59a great idea for colleges to offer those
05:02types of options to students you know
05:04maybe you can take some of your classes
05:05online and some of your classes in
05:07person and this is especially true if
05:09they are going to continue raising their
05:12costs so the answer to the question did
05:14the pandemic halt the rising cost of
05:17college at least in the short term yes
05:20it did it did halt it a small amount
05:23about two maybe one and a half percent
05:26but in the long run we don't know it
05:28could be that instead of the normal
05:30three percent next year colleges decide
05:33to raise it by 4.5 percent just to catch
05:36up with what they lost out on the year
05:37before i think the opinion of a lot of
05:40people is they probably should have
05:41reduced the prices if they were going to
05:44have it to where students weren't
05:45getting the full benefit of attending
05:48college but the very least you do have
05:50to give props to the colleges that froze
05:52the prices all i can say is kind of just
05:54like on a one-on-one
05:56sort of level just being a decent human
05:59being let's say i was somebody who was
06:01teaching like an in-person class
06:05made a deposit for let's say it was like
06:06a thousand dollar class and somebody
06:08made a deposit to me and then the
06:10pandemic happened and all of a sudden we
06:12couldn't do the class in person anymore
06:15but i still was able to do it online
06:18over zoom or something like that i would
06:20feel obligated to give everyone who
06:23signed up everyone who made the deposit
06:25a discount because it's just not the
06:27same thing as being there in person but
06:29that's just me i don't know let me know
06:32what you guys think if you haven't done
06:33already check out my other videos right
