Default Re: Tips To Save On College

Glad this moved back up-
Start Early researching everything-there truly is a ton of stuff out there.
My son is a senior-applying now to colleges. Last year there was a financial aid seminar at his school-my friend and I were the only parents of Juniors there! Everyon else had seniors, and it was obvious most had just started to think about it. I was amazed.
I agree with #3- he's going in with 10 credits, some of which were not much harder to earn than just regular high school credit.
Do not rule out private colleges as too expensive. They generally have Financial Aid packages which get the $$ down to at or near a public college. (It just makes you faint when you see the original price!)
