The following blog explains elasticity and utility of the desire to attend college. When there is a raise in the cost of attending college, numbers tend to be inelastic in public schooling because the tuition is lower, moves slower and more consistently. Because of the way public tuition changes you will see very little change in attendance numbers. Private college is considered elastic because they typically have a higher tuition than public schools which causes a greater variant in attendance. When a college changes their tuition they are consequently changing the demand of students to attend. Based on wether the demand goes up or down the college will alter their supply, which are the incentives the school gives to a student for attending. College is a secondary eduction which means it's succeeding the amount of required education (k-12). Because college isn't required some don't see any usefulness in college, as a college student I find it to be very useful.
