Yeah, but the pain isn't going to be universal. For profit universities aren't doing well already and I expect them to do worse over time. I expect a lot of non-profit private liberal arts universities to go bankrupt unless they turn into foreign student visa centers. There will probably be some consolidation of public universities, but nothing really bad.

I expect college to get a lot cheaper as the available student pool doesn't recover from the millennial echo boom.
