As you know, much of education today is financed by student loans and other financial aid. The process can be daunting, filing FAFSA /CSS forms, understanding offer letters, deciding which loans/grants to accept, and will they be available all 4 years, understanding loan repayment options, meeting all those deadlines, and even understanding the true cost of for-profit colleges.
