What do you think the state schools and private non Ivies will end up like? Will they have as many professors, but with the professors being held to much higher standards and teaching differently? Do you think non ivies in general will survive?

“What do you think the state schools and private non Ivies will end up like? Will they have as many professors, but with the professors being held to much higher standards and teaching differently? Do you think non ivies in general will survive?”

I’m not sure. I think many schools will survive, but only because they will radically adapt or fill a vary particular niche. I think many big state schools will survive because they still offer a “college experience” that can’t be duplicated online: sports, dorm life, fraternities, parties, etc. Many small private schools also offer a special experience: you’re not a number here, we have chapel every day, special housing, etc.

One immediate benefit would be that it has become cheaper.
