It is that time of the year when high school students nervously check their email inboxes hoping they have been accepted to their reach schools. At the same time, college rankings, which many have relied on to make their list of college applications, have come under fire once more. Recently, Michael Thaddeus, a math professor at Columbia University, has openly questioned the accuracy of the data submitted by the college to U.S. News.
Before making a final decision and sending the enrollment deposit to a university, prospective college students must take the physical environment of each school of their consideration into account.

Recently, higher education institutions across the U.S. have eased Covid testing requirements for the vaccinated population on campus. Such decisions show the trend in the education sector to move away from the previously widespread surveillance testing policies at colleges and universities.

A few months ago in 2021, an ex-leader of Temple University’s business school was convicted of using fake data to artificially raise the school’s ranking. Moshe Porat, who headed Temple’s Fox School of Business and Management for 22 years until 2018, colluded with fellow employees to send false data to U.S. News and World Report, a well-known source for American college rankings. The manipulated data included the number of students sending in test scores, grades, and résumé. U.S.
The popularity of the University of California (UC) is blooming. According to the data released by the university system, the number of applicants for the first-year fall admissions has hit its peak for two years in a row.

Foreign students have returned to pre-pandemic levels. Hare announced(March 13, 2022), "International student numbers at universities have bounced back to above pre-pandemic levels, with the number of students commencing studies higher than in 2019"." This is encouraging news, but the flow will take time to manifest at the MBA level across the country.
The change was unanimously accepted by the California State University Board of Trustees, aligning the country’s largest four-year university system with the “test free” admissions method already in place at the University of California college system. The California State University system has 477,000 students enrolled in its 23 colleges around the state, while the University of California system has approximately 280,000 students enrolled in its ten campuses.

Financial Pressure and Stress; College student’s Reason for Dropping Out

Although taking care of college student’s mental health and their financial burden has been a hot topic in the recent years, it still hasn’t been solved and has been exacerbated by the pandemic. The pandemic actually helped the public realize the detrimental effects of having poor mental health, with 46 percent of Americans reporting having poor mental health during the peak of the pandemic and the lockdowns.
For high school and college seniors across the United States, graduation can be a double-edged sword. On the one hand, you want to be a rise in the world and be proud of your accomplishments. A simple query, on the other hand, might cause a world of trouble. Fortunately, a growing trend in America offers a wonderful answer to this dilemma, with scientific proof to back it up: taking a gap year. It has been scientifically proved that students who take a gap year outperform their peers academically.

Despite the type of colleges, all colleges have experienced numerous declines in student numbers. The standard four-year undergraduate program offered by the colleges and universities experienced a loss, but the community school hit the most considerable hardship. Their group of students consists of a diverse range of people from students with financial difficulty, mature students, and students with different ethnic backgrounds. Due to this nature, they experienced over 13% of enrollment diminished in the past two years.

However, the increasing trend in application numbers is not limited to schools in California.
