Financial Matters and Other Considerations in Choosing a College

Are you trying to figure out what type of school is right for you? Do you know the difference between a college and a university?  If you're like most people, finances will be a big part of your decision, but are you automatically assuming that a public institution will be cheaper than a private one?  You may also be asking whether or not you can graduate in four years or will your education help you achieve your career goals?

You probably never thought to ask about the financial health of the schools on your college list.  Maybe that's something your parents want to consider, but certainly with state budget cuts or low enrollment at other institutions, you want to make sure you can get the classes you need to graduate.

If you're just starting this college process, there are so many factors to consider beyond just the obvious.  Be a smart consumer and take the time to investigate all the possibilities before deciding on the type of school that is right for you.
