The Price You Pay for College: An Entirely New Road Map for the Biggest Financial Decision Your Family Will Ever Make by Ron Lieber - This new book provides a guide to parents as they navigate saving for college and choosing what to pay for college. He doesn't give hard and fasts answers; he explains the kinds of college experiences available and suggests parents and students consider what is most important in their own education. It's full of advice valuable to parents of newborns or young children, but also for those of us facing a college decision in the upcoming year. He explains studies that look at student engagement, learning, happiness at college, satisfaction with the college experience, and career options after college. All of this information leads to questions you can ask yourself (as a parent), your student, and any potential colleges to help decide if this college is a good fit and whether it might be worth paying more out of pocket (or borrowing more) in order to attend. This may be our first year dealing with the college admissions process as parents, but we've been students, a alumni interviewer (me), and a professor (Kansas Dad); this book seemed spot-on for anything I knew about going in, which indicates the rest is good information as well. He explains about the "common data set," which is easy to find for any college by searching online. There are suggestions for lots of books, articles, magazines, podcasts, and online sites to find more information. It's a great relatively quick read. (library copy)
