The cost of college, including the expense of living and the cost of tuition and course materials, is the biggest barrier to post-secondary education for students.

The company surveyed more than 1,600 current college students, recent high school graduates and students who have dropped out of post-secondary education to better understand their education barriers and what would have the biggest impact on them completing their education.
