Research Blog #1

After several days of thinking over what topic I should research for the final paper, I came up with an idea but I am not sure whether or not I am going to be able to use it so I'm wondering what you think. I was thinking about something along the lines of, do students or parents get discouraged from applying to colleges when they see the tuition? Would these colleges receive more applications (possibly from more intelligent students with a lower family income) if their tuition wasn't as high. For example, certain private colleges and even state universities (if you are out of state) have extremely high prices and even high application fees so I'm wondering if people get discouraged from applying to these schools for this reason.
