“College costs can be blinding. This is THE guide to college finance that every prospective student and parent should read so they can make a better-informed decision as they choose where and when to apply and where to attend.”
-Michael B. Horn, Coauthor, "Choosing College"
“Let’s face it, understanding and navigating the world of college financial aid is nearly impossible for most people. Better Off After College Is the much needed road map for anxious families trying to sort through the nomenclature, technical details, complexities, and myths and misconceptions that are rife in the world of financial aid. There is still a lot to digest, but the authors bring clarity and common sense to one of the most important financial processes and decisions that students and their families will make.”
-Paul LeBlanc, President, Southern New Hampshire University
“An excellent practical guide that demystifies the cost of college and the complex and nuanced financial aid process.”
-Dr. Philomena V. Mantella, President, Grand Valley State University
“Attending college is still one of the very best economic investments an individual can make – but today this decision is higher-stakes than in years past, and requires more analysis. “Better Off After College” is a useful and practical guide for students, parents, and families looking to understand this process.“
-Sean Gallagher, Executive Professor of Educational Policy, Northeastern University
“As any parent who has sent a child to college can attest, financial aid is very complicated. Although there's no single solution that will work for everyone, Better Off After College demystifies financial aid and broader issues around education finance with practical advice to help families make better decisions about how to choose a college and how to fund that choice.”
-Stephen Smith, Cofounder, Naviance
As a parent and former provost I understand the many hurdles and pitfalls that come with college finances. This book is a much needed primer for parents and students that will help families work their way through the many aspects of paying for college. In a time when student debt is continuing to grow, this book is more important than ever, and will become a useful reference for everyone working with students and families, from college counselors to admissions staff. I will be giving copies of this book to all of the families in the college bound programs I work with.
