From DSC (with a thanks going out to Academic Impressions for the find/email on this):
I’ll bet many people don’t know that they would ultimately not pay the published “sticker price” for a degree. But how do we expect people who don’t eat and breathe this stuff to know that?!? It’s confusing enough for many of us who work within higher education!
Why do you have to be a financial aid wizard or a grants/scholarship researcher extraordinaire in order to understand what you will actually be paying in order to get your degree?
