Survey Says Millennials Support Online Education

Millennials are concerned about the high cost of college, and that worry is leading them to be more supportive online education, a new poll from Northeastern University finds.

A large majority of Americans surveyed, 83 percent, believe going to college is a good investment, yet more people gave the country's higher education system a "negative" rating than a positive one. Young adults aged 18 to 29 were more likely to hold a "negative" opinion compared to other age groups, 38 percent to 34 percent of Americans overall. Millennials' top reasons cited for giving a "negative" rating were the high cost of college and the difficulty of getting a job after graduation.
