About this episode
College students face many financial demands throughout the course of higher education: tuition, room, board, books, and many more. When unprepared for these demands, a student gets frustrated, overwhelmed, and even drops out sometimes, unfortunately. How should high school students and parents prepare financially for the cost of college? In this episode, Dr. Riley (from collegeapp101.com) uses his typical illustrations and anecdotes to discuss the importance of saving freshman year tuition before starting college. His comments are part of a larger series directed at members of the class of 2024, but are relevant to all high school students and parents.
