[quote=Anonymous]I am a college counselor at a local private school: Smaller, private, Liberal Arts schools will provide more financial aid (scholarships, grants, etc.) than larger, state schools. In addition, the alumni connection at the smaller schools is much greater for the students (meaning better job prospects upon graduation). The BEST bang for your buck? One to two years at a community college. You take the same courses your first year at UMD as you do at Montgomery College (unless you have earned your AP credits in high school to skip some of these classes) and it is for a fraction of the cost, however most students want the "college experience" and poopoo the community college route. Of course, as a DC resident, your kids get in-state tuition at any public college or university in the country. Quite a deal![/quote]
