Paying for college

[This book] "encourages its readers to 'look under the hood' and investigate whether a college is more than just a good academic fit. Is it a good financial fit as well? With more than 25 years of experience in higher education, Mark Bilotta departs from the typical college guide, recognizing that it's not enough to enroll in college. Students need to successfully complete their programs. After all, how helpful is it to have 45 credits, no degree and student loan debt? Bilotta directs his readers on how they can save on time and money. For him, time is measured in credit hours and semesters; money is measured in the thousands of dollars and lost income opportunities. This book is short, easy-to-read, and comprehensive. It tackles 19 topics, some more familiar than others that are key to financial fit. ... He ends with a brief look at the future of higher education and the growing interest in competency-based learning. A must read for students, their families, school counselors and education advisors."--Page 4 of cover.
