College graduation rates are something many people find important and many find irrelevant, but one thing that's constant between both; the fact that a lot of the rates are inaccurate representations of the college. This is because schools report the amount of student graduate from that school. It doesn't take into account the many variables such as students who transfer schools or the students that are only part time. This leads to misleading information bout the rate of people that actually graduate from college.

This is something shy of a fact, colleges are not the same as going to high-school or middle-school, and I know what you're saying "Yeah You don't say, what a genius this guy is" but hear me out. As a college student myself I personally know the cost of college and it's not easy to come by. My family does not make a ton of money so putting into college was money from outside sources and my own pockets. And for someone who didn't go to a high-school that offered things like college readiness, or mentors and people to help really prepare and guide you, or even the basic level of SAT prep for all students it's hard to even come by outside money. Colleges bring in billions of dollars every year and that money comes from students, whether it be scholarships, loans or right out of pocket. Graduation rates are so low because everyone can't afford to keep throwing thousands and thousands of dollars yearly. According to "How much colleges make on rejected applications" a lot of universities make well over two million dollars from rejected applications alone. Now to put it in perspective you pay thousands to attend college, specifically around nine thousand a semester and around twenty-four thousand for year both including room and board. Do you know what that means by time you have a four year degree in your hands? That's ninety-six thousand dollars you've had to give up. Graduation rates fluctuate so heavily because everyone can not afford these cost. So they transfer schools, they don't take school full time, or they simply drop out. Even if these methods aren't what people want to take they have to take them because there's sometimes very little you can otherwise.
I agree that college is a business and they are looking to only gain money from it. With that I agree that many people tend to leave college because of it, the financial issue hits many college students hard. It would be nice to put the main idea of your passage as your title or perhaps a header so it sticks out a bit better. As well as add one more reason why people drop out of college like work related issues other than just the money one.
