Listen Later

College is expensive, but there are bargains to be had if you do your research. Megan outlines:

  • The range of costs for in-state and out-of-state students at state universities
  • Private college costs
  • Community college tuition

    • Then she helps brainstorm some cost saving ideas that go beyond taking community college classes or living at home:

    • Finding out-of-state university “deals” that cost less than your in-state options
    • Understanding private school scholarships
    • How to work the “supply and demand” aspect of scholarships
    • And ideas for unconventional savings

      • The post 544: College Costs & How to Find Affordable 4-Year Options appeared first on The College Prep Podcast.
