Tuition Resets Continue Amid Public Skepticism of College’s Value

Two small, private colleges, Bridgewater College in Virginia and Wartburg College in Iowa, recently announced drastic reductions in tuition prices—by 62 percent and 48 percent, respectively—starting next fall. The majority of their students won’t see much of a change in their actual bills, however.  That’s because relatively few students at the two institutions, as is true at many colleges and universities, were paying the advertised sticker price.
