In my classes, in department meetings, in talks and writing, I keep saying “just spell out what students need to know about getting to and staying in college”.
And an excellent example of doing just that is here: 10 questions to ask when seeking an affordable college education.
It’s thorough, it’s accessible, and it goes so far beyond the more common platitudes about just finding scholarships if you want badly enough to go to college.
What other “10 questions” might first-generation students want and need to know?
