Add “good crisis handler” to your checklist of things about schools that are important to you. 

When someone in authority is the voice of reason and calm during a crisis, that provides a sense of comfort and trust when it is desperately needed.

How Colleges Respond to Crises gives voice to the parents in our Paying For College 101 Facebook group as they discuss which schools acted responsibly and responsively and how they did it.

Are you confused? Don’t know where to begin? Don’t know what you don’t know?

We’re not talking about the coronavirus, but about the financial aspect of the college admissions process. 

And if you answered anything close to “yes,” to any of those questions, Paying For College: What You Need to Know is just the kind of reading material you need right now.

When your child begins looking for colleges your goal is to help them find schools that offer a good fit. 

Ideally, a financial fit is part of that. In order to do this you will have to be strategic in your research which will most likely focus on finding schools that offer the best financial aid. Which schools meet that criteria?

Have you been attending our weekly CoffeeKlatches? 

We’ve already had three, and during the last one, among all the other topics the fifteen parents who joined us discussed was the topic of “flexibility” and how important that is during these crazy times. 

Next week, we’re hoping even more parents will be sitting around our virtual coffeehouse. One participant suggested have your students sit in for the first 10 minutes to also say hello.

It’s a great way to get some questions answered, discuss various topics about higher ed, and put faces to some of the people you only know by name.
