Or will remote education will empty them ... ?

Of all people I suspect businesses would want their fresh out of college students to be more likely to be local and in the office.

And of all people college students are the most ready to move.

More rural areas and housing supplies also aren't necessarily readily available / as cheap as you might think.

I suspect remote education is only enticing to a small percentage of students.

I wonder if remote works shares similar motivations.

I would not enjoy remote learning for the same reason that I don't enjoy remote working. It's not conducive to a good learning environment. Because most learning is not about the stuff on the whiteboard, but what you learn through casual conversation.

Later in my career I suspect I'll feel differently.

I have a good number of years in my career, and even still think remote work is an uphill battle. It’s not so bad if you started in an office, or visit frequently, but starting remote is challenging.

I think there are a percentage of people who love remote, but only because they’ve built the network and relationships prior to being full time remote. When they switch jobs they may find this to be challenging.

College's social experience is much more important than work's for most folks
