One should not take on what is potentially the biggest expense of a lifetime lightly. Motivated students can absolutely make sure college pays off academically, socially, and emotionally; financially, though, can be a big question mark. Amy and Mike invited educator Gage Mersereau to define the concept of true college ROI.

What are five things you will learn in this episode?

  1. What does ROI mean in the context of college?

  2. What are the major factors to determine your true college investment?

  3. Why should plans after graduation factor into college plans?

  4. Why should ROI factors be understood before submitting college applications?

  5. Why doesn’t net price apply to all applicants?
