Is it really that high? I dont think financial aid should ne given to some subjects...some need to die out.
It depends on the institution, but at open enrollment universities and community colleges it can be really alarming.

Some majors like womans studies, psychology, and communications.... Pretty worthless majors.

I agree, but that's a different issue. At time of admission, schools have a very good idea of a student's odds of completing a degree. They wildly mislead low probability students about those odds and then encourage them to take on as much financial aid as possible.

I remember starting my major with 93 students, was down to 29 by the time we graduated.

That’s pretty much the norm

Well, maybe for my major. I dont know how many of them ended up dropping out. I know some transferred majors.

It’s been a while since I checked these numbers, but only a little over 1/3 of students graduate.

I didnt think it was that low. Imagine the 2/3 that are saddled with debt and no degree.
