  • The cost of higher education has skyrocketed in recent decades,
    and every year we read about another scandal in college
    admissions that makes the average person feel like they are
    powerless to do anything about it. Mark discusses how
    we can change the system, because today there are now more
    seats at colleges than there are students to fill them, and that
    all we need is the right information. Mark holds a Ph.D. in Higher Education, and served in various
    roles at five universities. He has written for the Chronicle of
    Higher Education and been featured on NPR. After stints as
    a musician and an improvisational comic, Mark is now an
    entrepreneur and the CEO of TuitionFit. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

    Imagine if ANY other product or service increased its prices by $250 per year?
    What could possibly appreciate in value that rapidly

    It wouldn't be so bad if the future earnings of college graduates wasn't also declining.

    Great idea. Just need the solution! Sounds like an easy app or website for an entrepreneur or robinhood to whip up.

    Well done, Mr. Salisbury. I like the idea of colleges using your data to grow enrollment. If I understand it correctly, both students and colleges win that way.

    Mark definitely knows what he’s talking about when it comes to higher education and wants to make choosing the right college easier. Tuitionfit is going to become a necessity for incoming students.

    The simplest way to bring down the cost of college is to just not enrol in them.
