Just as grocery shoppers trade down to private-label products in hard times, consumers of college services are making a similar value-for-the-dollar transition. The "Cheerios" in this case aren't the wealthy Harvards, Northwesterns and Chicagos. Those elite schools occupy a separate gourmet category all their own. Rather, it's the private schools of middling reputation or below that depend most heavily on tuition dollars. They are feeling the biggest squeeze from cheaper competition.
