College enrollment in the US from 1965 to 2014 for public and private colleges (in millions)

              According to Statista.com, public higher education enrollment is greater than a private education. In America in the year of 1970 there were 6.43 million people who chose to attend a public higher education and 2.15 who chose to attend a private higher education. 46 years later, the numbers have increased dramatically. In 2016, public higher education is at 14.96 and private is now at a 5.55.

           There must be something in today's world that attracts people to a higher education.
