The results of the college affordability survey show that 68 percent of college students say they or their families struggle to pay for their education. Almost half of the students polled, or 46 percent, said tuition has been the biggest pain point followed by technology, books and course materials, and housing. The survey revealed that the majority of college students are solely paying for their education, with a higher percentage of two-year students paying their own way. Nearly half of the students polled, 46 percent, said they are left with $250 or less after paying for education costs each month. Fourteen percent of students have only $100 or less left each month after paying expenses.
