Myth # 6

Schools that cost more provide a higher quality education

A big price tag does not equal happiness. College is going to be what the student makes of it. Utilizing resources, meeting new people, networking and getting involved make for the best college experiences and thus educations.  If you apply to the right schools, are open to the idea of relocating, and take advantage of grants, work-study programs, and loans, you can get a diploma for much cheaper than you realize. The idea is to walk away with your undergraduate degree and NOT be buried under a mountain of debt. Considering all different price points and researching your financial aid options well; these are the key to finding your perfect fit.
