Coronavirus Leaves Colleges And Students With More Questions Than Answers

As colleges wonder whether it's safe to open their doors to students this fall, and if so, how to do it — students ponder whether it's worth paying tuition for shorter semesters and online classes.

The virus has also wreaked havoc on families' financial situations, leaving many unable to afford the tuition they formerly paid.
