Getting Through College Without Going BrokeWritten and edited by current college students and recent graduates from colleges and universities across the US, each book in this series of student guides focuses on a particular topic of interest to high school or college students and includes helpful advice and effective strategies for tackling that particular task. Encouraging and informative quotes and personal essays from students, as well as suggestions from teachers, professors, and advisers, accompany the content of the guide. As financing post-secondary education is a significant -- and increasingly difficult -- challenge for most students and their families, these financial pointers provide essential information on applying for financial aid, living within a budget, balancing work and school, and avoiding getting into unnecessary debt, such as credit card debt. Revealing personal essays and quotes from a diverse group of students enhance the informative nature of this guide, as does a section of suggestions from financial aid advisers. |
