Here’s a few stories around the Internet about college admissions and costs:
The Washington Monthly Annual College Guide has rankings of colleges looking at which colleges give students the most for their money. It’s a really interesting perspective.
US News and World Report has more on the mystery of textbook costs. I don’t get the constant upgrade racket, but the tech features are useful. What I REALLY hate are new editions of the textbook that don’t have new examples or that have blatantly outdated information (e.g., talking about the NASD after FINRA was formed).
And, more information on managing student loans, from PersonalLoans.org.
Enjoy!
