(from what I’ve read) Is that what you’re using on your blog? Great post, however, I was wondering if you could write a little more on this subject? <br /><a href="https://twitter.com/surya_infomatic?lang=en" rel="nofollow">Surya Informatics</a>thiruhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00519090223320114607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1565374878621878309.post-89764724516639010712017-07-06T13:42:18.843-07:002017-07-06T13:42:18.843-07:00And before you take the advice of an "expert&...And before you take the advice of an "expert" like Mr. Schermer, be sure to read this article from Money Magazine.

Some examples are these percentages of full-time undergraduates who have completed the requirements for a bachelor's degree in SIX years: Rochester Institute of Technology - 65%; University of Vermont - 76%; Hofstra University - 60%; University of Hartford (CT) - 56%; Fordham University - 80%; Purdue University - 73%. Many of the issues that you raise in your essay are to blame for these poor outcomes. It's not surprising that with 4-year completion rates at historic lows at so many schools, students are taking on unsustainably high levels of college debt before completing their studies.<br />I really like your idea, Ms. Goodman. It has the potential to be truly disruptive to current trends -- in a positive way. The barriers are few. I encourage you to continue to make your voice heard. With your concept in full operational mode, I foresee that In a relatively short period there would be a dramatic improvement to college outcomes. Parents and students alike will experience less anxiety and the colleges will once again be able to take pride in their ability to fulfill their educational mission.MedicareMarchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14579475333282756226noreply@blogger.com
