If you want a college education, you have no choice. Will kids basically give up a college education because it will be temporarily online? On the contrary, I would think that registrations would go up because the students would save a lot of money on room and board until things get back to normal (whenever that may be). I mean, I am working from home now and am saving a lot on gas, commuting time, and wear and tear on my car, as are a lot of people. If this goes into next winter (which I doubt), think of the grief students will save from having to walk to classes in the tundra.

Registrations would only go up at community colleges. There's no point in overpaying to take online classes at a 4 year school when the same quality education is available locally for much cheaper, especially if you're an incoming freshman taking gen eds.
