Only half of current college students (55 percent) say they believe the education they’re receiving is worth their tuition, even after improvements in COVID prevention and protocols have made in-person learning increasingly possible over the past year, according to a new study.

Seventy-eight percent of administrators say students are satisfied with their social experience, while just 58 percent of students say they are.
