Curtain A or Curtain B?

Colleges and universities want your student, who has multiple acceptance letters. How do you help your student choose?


Aid is Big


Because the cost of higher education is steep, financial aid plays a part in the college decision. When faced with a choice, try to negotiate with the schools. Then compare packages.


What will you Pay Now?


Remember to include all costs: tuition, room, board, fees and other living expenses. Also know that a much more expensive school may cost less when financial aid is considered.


What will you Pay Later?


Financial aid includes grants, which are free, and loans, which require repayment. Consider the ability to repay later. A social worker, for example, may have less ability to repay loans than a physician.


Apples to Apples


When making any comparisons, compare apples to apples. One school may specialize in your student’s field of study, while the other doesn’t have the same major.
