[quote=Anonymous]1. Don't pay application fees. Most schools waive them altogether. (Some schools, however, use them as an important source of revenue, know that all but a few of the 30,000 applicants who paid application fees will be rejected.) 2. Don't pay full sticker price. Almost no one does. Why should you? 3. Don't borrow money. If a school expects you to borrow money to meet its inflated costs and fees, go to a different school. 4. Look for a place that provides a serious academic experience, and where the students behave in a decent, humble, and respectful manner -- and don't think of college as an entitlement. 5. Satisfy yourself that the colleges you are considering take education seriously. And avoid colleges where what's going on is simply a credentialing exercise. 6. When you've narrowed down your list to two or three finalists, make sure you spend time on campus, and have your kid do an overnight. [/quote]
