Others are quitting school entirely very early on. In a recent "Outnumbered" segment, Fox News co-hosts discussed the trend of young college students bailing out of campus life and returning home — saying the degree is what they’re after, not the "college experience." Online reactions to the controversial and trending decision are running the gamut. "To be fair, college is not for everyone," one Facebook user commented.

Another was more understanding, posting, "It's OK to be uncomfortable, anxious and stressed during your first year of college." "Outnumbered" co-host Kaleigh McEnany said she remembered her own college days, when she would struggle to return to school after spending time at home. | |
