Kitchen Table College Chats

What if the college you choose doesn’t make it to your graduation day?

It sounds dramatic—but it’s becoming a very real question. Across the country, colleges are quietly cutting majors, merging programs, and in some cases closing altogether.

In this episode, Marc and Gary talk about the question families rarely ask during campus tours: Is this college financially healthy enough to get my student across the finish line?

We’ll break down the warning signs, the numbers schools don’t like to highlight, and a few simple ways parents and students can do their own “viability check” before committing four years and a lot of tuition dollars.
