Nebraska's college classrooms will be a lot less crowded this year, according to a new study.
Here are the numbers: 30,000 cancelled all college classes, 20% are taking classes online, and 22% are taking fewer classes.
Quote Wizard says in all, three out of 10 students across the state are not going back to school and the study says the pandemic is to blame.
According to the on-line insurance company’s comparison, one reason why so many potential students may be changing their college plans is a lack of health insurance.
Quote Wizard says that nationwide, more than 4 million people between the ages of 19 and 25 don’t have coverage.
