Smart about College

When it comes to choosing a college, smart students often don’t act the part.

Financial expert Dave Ramsey warns that it’s somewhat “oxymoronic” to make “stupid” educational choices.  He cites the case of a young caller who was yearning to attend “Ole Miss” because “the campus is pretty.”  It will cost a pretty penny to enjoy that scenery!

During a Debt-Free Degree event, Ramsey and author Anthony ONeal gave the following “money-saving” advice to college-bound students: begin at a quality community college, minimize board costs by living at home, attend “a public, in-state university” and avidly pursue scholarships.
