There were approximately 18.58 million college students in the U.S. in 2022, with around 13.49 million enrolled in public colleges and a further 5.09 million students enrolled in private colleges. The figures are projected to remain relatively constant over the next few years.

What is the most expensive college in the U.S.? The overall number of higher education institutions in the U.S. totals around 4,000, and California is the state with the most. One important factor that students – and their parents – must consider before choosing a college is cost. With annual expenses totaling almost 78,000 U.S. dollars, Harvey Mudd College in California was the most expensive college for the 2021-2022 academic year. There are three major costs of college: tuition, room, and board. The difference in on-campus and off-campus accommodation costs is often negligible, but they can change greatly depending on the college town.

The differences between public and private colleges Public colleges, also called state colleges, are mostly funded by state governments. Private colleges, on the other hand, are not funded by the government but by private donors and endowments. Typically, private institutions are  much more expensive. Public colleges tend to offer different tuition fees for students based on whether they live in-state or out-of-state, while private colleges have the same tuition cost for every student.

In 2022, about **** million male students were enrolled in degree-granting postsecondary institutions as undergraduates. This is compared to **** million female undergraduate students who were enrolled in that same year. By 2031, these figures are projected to increase to **** million and *** million respectively.

Increase the number of Concurrent Enrollment hours that have been completed by incoming college freshman from 103,055 in 2014 to 105,979 by 2018.

In an impressive increase from years past, 39 percent of women in the United States had completed four years or more of college in 2022. This figure is up from 3.8 percent of women in 1940. A significant increase can also be seen in males, with 36.2 percent of the U.S. male population having completed four years or more of college in 2022, up from 5.5 percent in 1940.

4- and 2-year colleges

In the United States, college students are able to choose between attending a 2-year postsecondary program and a 4-year postsecondary program. Generally, attending a 2-year program results in an Associate’s Degree, and 4-year programs result in a Bachelor’s Degree.

Many 2-year programs are designed so that attendees can transfer to a college or university offering a 4-year program upon completing their Associate’s. Completion of a 4-year program is the generally accepted standard for entry-level positions when looking for a job.

Earnings after college

Factors such as gender, degree achieved, and the level of postsecondary education can have an impact on employment and earnings later in life. Some Bachelor’s degrees continue to attract more male students than female, particularly in STEM fields, while liberal arts degrees such as education, languages and literatures, and communication tend to see higher female attendance.

All of these factors have an impact on earnings after college, and despite nearly the same rate of attendance within the American population between males and females, men with a Bachelor’s Degree continue to have higher weekly earnings on average than their female counterparts.

The number of students starting in Ivy League schools for the Class of 2028 (those beginning in the Fall of 2024), varied from school to school. Cornell University had the largest Class of 2028 among the Ivy League schools, with ***** enrolled students.

The Education Department (VA 714) conducted a number of Teachers Training Colleges in both Melbourne and provincial centres. These Colleges trained primary, secondary and specialist teachers for service in schools. In a number of locations, hostels were conducted for the accommodation of students these being administered by each Teachers' College.

This series contains correspondence received by the Department from these Colleges. Some correspondence was registered upon reception, but portion of it was not. Correspondence is from both college authorities and students.

Subjects dealt with include the employment of persons, lists of students, the grades and classifications of exit students, matters to do with the supply of requisites and goods for colleges and hostels, accident claims and injury reports, applications for allowances, reports including special reports on specific students, complaints forwarded to the college by members of the community and correspondence regarding breaches of studentship agreements.

In the academic year 2023/24, there were 331,602 international students from India studying in the United States. International students The majority of international students studying in the United States are originally from India and China, totaling 331,602 students and 277,398 students respectively in the 2023/24 school year. In 2022/23, there were 467,027 international graduate students , which accounted for over one third of the international students in the country. Typically, engineering and math & computer science programs were among the most common fields of study for these students. The United States is home to many world-renowned schools, most notably, the Ivy League Colleges which provide education that is sought after by both foreign and local students. International students and college Foreign students in the United States pay some of the highest fees in the United States, with an average of 24,914 U.S. dollars. American students attending a college in New England paid an average of 14,900 U.S. dollars for tuition alone and there were about 79,751 international students in Massachusetts . Among high-income families, U.S. students paid an average of 34,700 U.S. dollars for college, whereas the average for all U.S. families reached only 28,026 U.S. dollars. Typically, 40 percent of families paid for college tuition through parent income and savings, while 29 percent relied on grants and scholarships.

As part of its Centennial celebration in 1977, Radcliffe College undertook a comprehensive survey of the life experiences of its alumnae. The questionnaire was designed to collect information about their personal background, college experiences, and subsequent marital, educational and employment histories. The survey was sent to over 13,000 women who had attended the college as undergraduates and graduate students from the classes of 1900 to 1975. Over 6,000 women completed and returned the questionnaire, representing a response rate of 48%. For individual classes response rates ranged from 29% to 76%. Most respondents had started attending Radcliffe as first year students and continued through their senior year. Others had only received part of their college education at Radcliffe. The sample is 85% white. Ages range from their early 20s to 100, with the greatest percentage in their 30s or 40s. The survey is divided into two parts, sent in the same mailing. Topics covered in part one include: paid and volunteer work during adulthood; salary; educational history; accomplishments and distinctive titles and awards earned; career counselling received; current involvement with Radcliffe alumnae and activities; if married, husband's education, work, and salary. Part two includes questions about: undergraduate experiences at and satisfaction with Radcliffe; family background and expectations about education; marital history and children; career history, including interruptions in work and detailed history of positions held. The survey also solicits the women's attitudes a bout women and education, volunteer work and paid jobs. The Murray Archive holds additional analogue materials for this study (original record paper data from part two of the survey questionnaire for 700 participants, most of whom were graduate students).

This series is comprised of one volume entitled "Examination Marks". The volume was begun by the Wagga Experiment Farm in 1948 and continued to be used by the Wagga Agricultural College from 1949 onwards.

The volume contains information relating to students’ exam results and provides columns to record the examination marks received by each student. Each examination mark was given out of one hundred. Also recorded are the total marks for each student per subject, and the student’s overall placing in the class. For a number of years, remarks by lecturers on each student’s performance and attitude were recorded in this volume.

Wagga Experiment Farm students in 1948 sat examinations in the following subjects: Principals of Agriculture, Practical Agriculture, Livestock, Chemistry, Botany, Business Principals, Entomology, and Mechanics. The students were also marked overall in diligence and aptitude in both their classroom work and farm work.

Wagga Agricultural College students sat a varying number of examinations between 1949 and 1954. Some of the subjects included were: Principals of Agriculture, Livestock, Botany, Entomology, Practical Agriculture, Chemistry, Soil Physics, Business Principals, Meteorology, Mechanics, Book Keeping, Economic Geography, “Surveying and B.C.”, Sheep Husbandry, Wool Classing, Veterinary Science, Bacteriology, Engineering, Dairying, Orcharding, and Public Relations.

This study, designed to asses the quality of postgraduate education, has three parts: a survey of full-time research students; a survey of advanced course students and a survey of part-time graduate students.
Main Topics:

Attitudinal/Behavioural Questions
The quality of the postgraduate education being received is assessed: indicators include method by which degree is sought; amount of formal training being received (courses, seminars, supervisor aid); whether or not present work is part of larger project; and amount of perceived freedom the respondent had to choose topic/area; access to resource materials and persons, including supervisor and other staff members.
Consideration is given to behavioural indicators of isolation. Linkage to the immediate environment is assessed by use of indicators of intensity of social contacts with supervisors and peers, and by membership in voluntary organisations (information therefore available on hobbies, cultural interests, participation in formal religion) by assessing formal university duties such as demonstrating and teaching. Educational history includes: whether eleven-plus was taken, type, class and place of first and subsequent degrees, reasons for any gaps in educational process, interim occupations, reasons for choice of postgraduate institution, and motivation for continuation of studies (ie. amount and type of 'sponsorship' from faculty).
Financial information includes: type, value and source of support; spouse's income; ownership of large consumer goods; rent expenditure and amount spent on books and cigarettes.
Background Variables
Nationality; religion; parents' occupations; marital status (spouse's characteristics have been obtained, as well as length of marriage, whether respondent was a student at time of marriage, place of meeting spouse, whether there are children and, if so, whether they were planned, and whether respondent sees marriage as a benefit or detriment to work).

Colleges and universities in the United States are still a popular study destination for Chinese students, with around 277 thousand choosing to take courses there in the 2023/24 academic year. Although numbers were heavily affected by the coronavirus pandemic, China is still the leading source of international students in the U.S. education market, accounting for 24.6 percent of all incoming students. The education exodus Mathematics and computer science courses led the field in terms of what Chinese students were studying in the United States, followed by engineering and business & management programs. The vast majority of Chinese students were self-funded, wth the remainder receiving state-funding to complete their overseas studies. Tuition fees can run into the tens of thousands of U.S. dollars, as foreign students usually pay out-of-state tuition fees. What about the local situation? Although studying abroad attracts many Chinese students, the country itself boasts the largest state-run education system in the world. With modernization of the national tertiary education system being a top priority for the Chinese government, the country has seen a significant increase in the number of local universities over the last decade. Enrolments in these universities exceeded 37 million in 2023, and a record of more than ten million students graduated in the same year, indicating that China's education market is still expanding.

According to a survey among Chinese college students, the average age that male respondents entered their first relationship was at 16.27 years old. It was slightly older than 16.17 years old for female respondents. On average, Chinese university students had their first boyfriend or girlfriend at 16.22 years old.

Participation rate in education, population aged 18 to 34, by age group and type of institution attended, Canada, provinces and territories. This table is included in Section E: Transitions and outcomes: Transitions to postsecondary education of the Pan Canadian Education Indicators Program (PCEIP). PCEIP draws from a wide variety of data sources to provide information on the school-age population, elementary, secondary and postsecondary education, transitions, and labour market outcomes. The program presents indicators for all of Canada, the provinces, the territories, as well as selected international comparisons and comparisons over time. PCEIP is an ongoing initiative of the Canadian Education Statistics Council, a partnership between Statistics Canada and the Council of Ministers of Education, Canada that provides a set of statistical measures on education systems in Canada.

The national survey focused on the health and health-related behaviour of university and university of applied science (polytechnic) students in Finland. Questions covered physical, mental, dental and sexual health, health-related behaviour, cultural and social meanings of physical activities, social interaction, learning disabilities, study environment, bullying, stalking and violence, the use of and satisfaction with student health services. Another aim was to provide information about immigrant students. General state of health was charted with a number of questions relating to long-term illnesses, disabilities or disorders. Some questions covered the respondents' weight and height, and attitude to food. Psychological or social symptoms causing problems were investigated. Psychosocial health was further studied using the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12). Use of and satisfaction with health services was studied with questions relating to health professionals visited during the past year and in which service organisation, satisfaction with the Finnish Student Health Service (FSHS), reasons for using other than FSHS health services, and what type of guidance they would like in certain issues (e.g. stress or weight management, study skills, alcohol use, smoking cessation). Engagement in sporting activities and less vigorous physical activities, and use of performance enhancing substances (doping) were surveyed. Eating habits were investigated with a number of questions based on the Index of Diet Quality (IDQ), for instance, asking where the respondents ate their main meals and the consumption of dairy products, bread, fruit, vegetables, etc. The respondents were also asked how often they brushed or flossed their teeth and used toothpaste or xylitol products, and whether they had problems with teeth grinding, had bite guard, or experienced facial pain or jaw locking. Health-related behaviour was further studied by asking the respondents about their smoking habits, and the use of drugs and alcohol (amount, frequency). Drinking habits were charted by using the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT). Some questions covered gambling and possible problems caused by it. One theme pertained to the respondents' studies. They were asked about previous qualifications, how many years they had been enrolled as 'present' for current studies, credits earned, study success, confidence of having chosen the right field of study, hours spent on study, and hours spent on paid work during the study year. The sufficiency of study guidance and advice provided by the institution were investigated as well as positive and negative feelings (e.g. enthuasiasm, burnout) related to their studies and types of learning difficulties (e.g. dyslexia) experienced. The respondents were also asked to evaluate their financial situation. The survey also studied interpersonal relationships. The respondents were asked about their household composition and living arrangements, marital status and partnerships, number of children, intention to have (more) children, spending time with friends, whether they felt lonely or part of a group, and whether they had someone close to them with whom they could discuss their affairs. Learning difficulties were further investigated with questions on diagnosed learning disabilities, who had done the diagnosis and when, and support received from the institution. Internet use and problems caused by it were examined. Some questions charted whether the respondents had been subjected to bullying at school, how often and to what kind of bullying, whether they had been subjected to bullying or discrimination during their university studies or had themselves bullied or discriminated against others, and whether they had bullied their siblings or been bullied by them. The respondents were asked whether they had been subjected to stalking or violence, how often and by whom, and whether they themselves had engaged in stalking or violent behaviour, how often and whom they had targeted. Sexual health questions covered the use of contraception, lack of sexual partner or sexual activity, level of sexual desire, satisfaction with and experiences during intercourse based on FSFI-6 Index, satisfaction with own sex life in general, age when had first sexual intercourse, and sexual pain or other vulvodynia problems. The final theme pertained to the role of physical exercise and sports in the respondents' lives. First, a number of statements charted personality traits, interest areas and consumer habits. The importance of certain things in the respondents' lives (e.g. study, work, hobbies, nature, religion), time spent on particular activities (e.g. sporting activities, arts, being with friends, shopping), hobbies of particular interest, and physical, social, mental and general well-being were investigated. The respondents were also asked how important a number of aspects (e.g. learning new skills, improving self-confidence, stress release) were to them in physical activities/sports, and whether parents, siblings, friends, the media or experiences from school etc. had increased or decreased their interest in sports. The extent to which a number of factors prevented their sporting activities (e.g. disabilities, lack of time, information, skills or support), and money spent on sports clothing, equipment, services or events were charted. Background variables included the respondent's age, gender, country of birth, language used in childhood home, length of time residing in Finland, name of the university, field of study, economic activity and occupational status of the parents at the time when R was 15 years old, and R's evaluation whether his or her own field/work had higher or lower status than those of the parents.

In the academic year of 2023/24, around 21 million students were enrolled for undergraduate degrees in the United States. This was a slight increase from the previous year, when 20.6 million students were enrolled as undergraduates.

ABSTRACT Introduction College students represent a large proportion of amateur athletes in China. In sports practices, some unavoidable situations lead to physical injuries that can seriously affect the daily life of these students. Formulating rehabilitation plans to avoid secondary complications and speed up the students’ return to their daily activities is necessary. Objective To study the causes of sports injuries and the effect of sports rehabilitation on university physical training. Methods Through questionnaires and interviews, 720 students and 25 teachers with a history of sports injuries were selected to investigate the causes of students’ sports injuries. Then, 20 volunteers were selected as research subjects. They received a rehabilitation training protocol three times a week for six weeks. EMG signals of the athletes’ shoulder and neck muscles were measured. Results Sports injury is an inevitable problem during college physical training. Training joint flexibility and stability can effectively improve the surface EMG signals in the area adjacent to the joint to improve muscle strength and joint amplitude level. Conclusion Students should consciously undertake rehabilitation training under professional guidance and receive full instruction in sports rehabilitation procedures involving a combination of physical and psychological recovery. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment outcomes.
