About this product
Product Information
Hi, Everyone, I wrote this book because I kept hearing questions about college that I couldn't answer in a satisfying way. As the parent of a fifteen- and a five-year-old, I also needed the answers for myself. I heard from: Parents in Harlem who wanted to know how much they should sacrifice to send a child to a small, private liberal arts college instead of a state school. A family in Ohio with three kids who hadn't saved much and wanted to know whether they'd be punished for that-or whether financial and might still come their way. Guidance counselors in California struggling heroically just to help hundreds of students each year reckon with the uncertain odds of admission. How could they better predict what scholarships they might receive? Teens in the Chicago suburbs who wanted their parents to talk honestly about what they were willing to spend and borrow. How could they get their parents to open up? In a decade of writing a personal finance column for the Wall Street Journal and then the New York Times, I hadn't come across a clear formula for what to pay for college. So I made it my mission to find one. I spent several years in search of answers, pulling the curtain back on how the system works. You told me you wanted help naming and reckoning with the unhelpful feelings that the process of saving and paying for college seems designed to evoke. You wanted to know what was worth paying extra for an any given school and how to shop for it. You wanted to know how the so-called merit aid system works. And you definitely wanted to know what, exactly, we owned our kids. The result of those years of research is the book you're holding in your hands. Thanks to this work, I feel a sense of calm bout the process that I lacked before. My greatest hope is that when you're done reading, you will feel it, too. Book jacket.

[The Price You Pay for College] outlines higher education pricing dynamics with painstaking care and clarity. . . . Lieber offers an essential guidebook for helping each student to find their path forward.|9780062867308|, Aims to provide parents and students financing their own way with the information they need to make more informed, financially sound goals and decisions., Masterly . . . represents an extraordinary achievement: It is comprehensive and detailed without being tedious, practical without being banal, impeccably well judged and unusually rigorous., "Masterly . . . represents an extraordinary achievement: It is comprehensive and detailed without being tedious, practical without being banal, impeccably well judged and unusually rigorous." -- Daniel Markovits, New York Times Book Review "Lieber's explanation of the system is probably the best I've seen from somebody outside it. His discussion of 'merit aid' even helped clarify some long-running arguments that have been mildly confusing me in faculty meetings for twenty years." -- Forbes "A deeply reported, conventional-wisdom-busting guide to a subject that many of even the most financially adept and prepared individuals find terrifying. The book arrives at a moment when families are re-scrutinizing the price schools charge for tuition; how much debt students take on, and what exactly is worth the money and why." -- Town & Country "An impressively thorough and genuinely useful manual for people staring up the sheer cliff of college tuition payments . . . It also contains an implicit analysis and critique of higher education as a system, by acknowledging the inequities that exist at every level from recruitment to admissions to financial aid. It's a how-to book that will also make you think, 'But why?'" -- New York Times Book Review, Editor's Choice "Aims to provide parents and students financing their own way with the information they need to make more informed, financially sound goals and decisions." -- Fortune "Lieber helps families navigate this all-important financial decision by pulling back the curtain on the financial aid system and asking tough questions of financial aid gatekeepers. The end result is a book that helps families determine what they value--a metric even more important than the sticker tag of college." -- Forbes (9 College Admissions Books for the Post-Pandemic Era) "Ron Lieber is a gift." -- Scott Galloway, author of Post Carona and The Four "Ron will hold you by the hand, by the heart and by the head." -- Julie Lythcott-Haims, author of How to Raise an Adult "Books like these are conversation grenades. You throw them in a room and conversations break out." -- Carl Richards, author of The Behavior Gap "[The Price You Pay for College] outlines higher education pricing dynamics with painstaking care and clarity. . . . Lieber offers an essential guidebook for helping each student to find their path forward. -- John Lewis, Head of School, The Gunston School "If you have a teen headed for college in a few years, you literally can't afford to skip this candid guide by The New York Times' 'Your Money' columnist Ron Lieber. He grills college presidents and financial aid gatekeepers to answer all your biggest questions about the right ways to save, borrow and bargain for a better deal." -- Audrey Goodson Kingo, Working Mother Magazine, An impressively thorough and genuinely useful manual for people staring up the sheer cliff of college tuition payments . . .
