4 QUESTIONS TO ASK YOURSELF

Students should consider these four questions
before choosing a school:

Do you do well in a lecture setting or are

you more of a hands-on learner?

Do you favor abstract thinking or do you

like to solve problems in a more direct
and less theoretical manner?

Once you answer this question, determine which

style of learning is used most at the colleges you are
considering. For example, a large liberal arts university
might feature a class schedule heavy in lectures, where a
career-focused tech school might focus mainly on
hands-on learning in a classroom setting.
Choosing a college is no easy task. Considering its a
decision that will lay the groundwork for your career and
that college is one of the biggest financial investments
youll ever make, most students and parents are aware
that its not a decision to be taken lightly.
While its important to ask a lot of questions about the
schools youre considering, some of the most important
questions you need to ask before choosing a school
should be directed at yourself. Figuring out your own
learning style and picking a school that plays to those
strengths is one of the biggest keys to your educational
success.

If you enjoy creative writing and topics likes political

science, religion or history where there tends to be more
than one way to answer a question and analysis is a little
more subjective, youre more of an abstract learner. If
you enjoy math or computer programming, where there
are right and wrong ways to solve a problem, you prefer
a more empirical and pragmatic method of learning.
Determining what works best for you will help you both
pick a college and area of study.

BEFORE CHOOSING A COLLEGE

Would you consider yourself a

non-traditional learner?

Do you already know what type of career

you would like to pursue?

If youve found success in classes such as projectsbased classes as opposed to traditional lecture-based
classes, you may do well to find a college that offers
classes that cater to students with non-traditional needs.
If youve already tried a traditional college and didnt
like it or werent successful, you may have just needed a
curriculum that better fits your learning style and schools
that cater to non-traditional students can help.

By thinking a little bit about what makes you succeed

as a student, you can best determine both where your
interests lie and what kind of education is best for you.
By determining this before you enroll in a school, youll
help increase the odds that your educational dollar is put
to good use.

If you do, you may want to consider a career-focused

college that will give you the specific training to succeed
in your chosen career. If youre undecided or have
multiple interests, a liberal arts education might be
more appropriate. For example if you know you want
to be a computer programmer and have no interest
in a managerial role, you might consider a school that
focuses specifically on building your technical skills to
help you in that specific role.

MAKING COLLEGE A REALITY...

Sending a student to college is a proud time for
families. But with tuition costs rising and families
continuing to face financial challenges, many are taking
another look at how to pay for college.

Estimate the costs

According to the latest Merrill Edge Report, 56 percent

of parents have paid or expect to pay more to
send their first child to college than they had
originally anticipated when the child was born.
When asked why they are paying more, one
in three parents who currently have a child
in college or have one that has graduated
said it was to keep their child out of debt.

Once you calculate how much youre able to spend,

sit down as a family and go over your finances.
Establish how much youre able to afford
and how youll pay for any additional costs
that arise for example, through your child
taking on part-time jobs or student loans.
Your child may have his sights set on a
more expensive school, but after analyzing
your finances you may decide a more
affordable university closer to home is the
way to go.

Paying for college is a big priority for our

clients and with costs continuing to rise,
were telling them its never too early or too
late to readjust their financial plan for the
true price of college, says Dean Athanasia,
preferred and small business executive at
Bank of America. Though its daunting,
there are many steps you can take to
prepare to send your child to school.

First estimate how much college will cost and what

you can afford. To do this, you can take advantage of a
number of online tools.

Invest early

The sooner you can start saving for

college, the better. Among parents who
saved for college, 68 percent began doing
so before their child reached the age of
6. And of those parents who saved, 38
percent wish they began earlier.

...DESPITE THE PRICE TAG

There are specialized ways to save for college
education. Some college savings plans offer favorable
tax incentives and flexibility in who can contribute to
the plan, giving you more opportunity to save. In order
to decide which account best fits your financial plan,
conduct research on your own or ask a financial adviser
for help. Once you do, set up an automatic withdrawal
from your paycheck to ensure youre putting money
away each month.

In the end, remember that youre saving for a great

cause, however expensive it is. By planning ahead,
saving early and supplementing your savings with the
variety of resources, your childs education can be one
of the richest investments you make.
~ Brandpoint

Find additional funding

If their savings arent enough, many families consider

financial aid, such as Stafford and Perkins loans. The
important part of taking out loans is for your child to
have a plan to pay them back, which can be a struggle
without proper consideration.
Grants and scholarships remain an option but beware
that the current economy has restricted many of these
funds and they are therefore becoming scarcer than in
the past.
