Publisher's Synopsis
The Savvy Student's Guide to College Education answers common, but daunting, questions prospective college students ask, like: "What is the right school for me," "Should I start at a two-year school or go directly to a four-year school," "Which major should I choose," and "How am I going to pay for this?" After years of dealing with these kinds of questions, The Carson Scholars Fund commissioned TheBestSchools.org to come up with a guide for their scholars. But realizing that this guide holds information of interest to all high school graduates, TheBestSchools.org decided to make it available to everyone.
