The college class of 2013 is in full admission swing. I spent my first week on the road travelling to high schools and colleges for my part-time job with Drew University (NJ) as its southern California admissions office. The theme I heard from students and parents was the sticker shock of a private higher education. The economic news only exacerbated students/parents anxiety as they began the college search.
Students and parents forget that many private schools will waive their application fees. If students do not apply to private schools because of their sticker price, they forego the opportunity of finding out what type of merit aid they could receive.
The economy is going through a rough patch. However, an education is a life-long investment. Proper planning, work, and reasonable pay back is a part of the process. Consider the possibilities without closing an opportunity because of its sticker price. College admission help is there with University Advisors Admission Specialists (www.universityadvisors.net).
