Making Tough Choices
A recent CNN report on choosing a college looked at an interesting dilemma: numbers over names. Some students are taking a hard and close look at the bottom line and deciding that the "name" of the school is not worth the price of admission.
With the cost of college skyrocketing, and the prospect of employment following college looking less likely, many students are making the decision to go where the money is. Some colleges even have a financial aid calculator that allows students to see what their total saving could be if they choose the less costly college option.

He made the best decision for not only him but for his family. There is a big difference in the costs of a community college and a university and in this economy community colleges are the way to go especially for prerequisites. As for the quality of education in these lower costing colleges, I believe are there just as valuable. I don’t know how they couldn’t be when everything is practically online now. I also am trying to get into the medical field, luckily I do have a job at an assisted living nursing home however, even with my Caregivers Licenses and working forty hour weeks I still struggle to pay for my classes at my local community college. College is never reasonably priced anywhere, but the one you can almost afford is probably the right one for you and it will end up being just as valuable in today’s economy with education and will include the whole college atmosphere.
