I keep expecting to see mid and lower tier public and private schools collapse, but it keeps not happening. The top tier schools, both public and private will hang on for quite a bit longer.  Some of them have such big endowments, they could go years without collecting any tuition.

As a parent of a teenager I can say with a certain degree of confidence that young people want to be and are planning on being at a college campus this fall and next fall. The five colleges in my area are opening this fall and the employees are returning to a mix of work at home and on-site.
