The student, a Berkeley resident, was pronounced dead at the scene within minutes. The Alameda County Sheriff's Office's Coroner's Bureau said his cause of death was still pending investigation, though Westlie said no foul play is suspected.

In general, students across all income brackets are paying less for college, adjusted for inflation, than they did six years ago at all types of institutions.

While overall more people are choosing college, there are important shifts happening in where students are going and where they're not. Enrollment at private four-year colleges is down. Fewer people are enrolled in master's degree programs. But enrollment is up at four-year public universities and at community colleges. There, it's driven by students choosing short-term credentials tied to the workforce.
