美国大学入学人数连续第七年下降3.2%,其动力是成本和替代性教育选择。 U.S. college enrollment drops 3.2% for seventh straight year, driven by cost and alternative education options.

2025年11月20日公布的一项新研究发现,美国大学入学人数连续第七年下降,全时本科生的下降率为3.2%。 A new study released on November 20, 2025, finds that college enrollment in the U.S. has declined for the seventh consecutive year, with a 3.2% drop reported among full-time undergraduates. 下降的原因是学费上涨、对大学价值的看法转变以及职业培训和在线学习平台的竞争加剧。 The decline is attributed to rising tuition costs, shifting perceptions of college value, and increased competition from vocational training and online learning platforms. 专家警告这一趋势如果不加以解决,可能会影响劳动力发展和经济增长。 Experts warn the trend could impact workforce development and economic growth if not addressed.
