Miscellaneous articles about college costs, admissions, surviving college, etc.
This is a mish mash of articles I've come across which are mostly just interesting to read - I'm glad to add any that you find interesting. Sometimes these articles don't stay up very long so the links may not work. I'll try to keep it current but would appreciate a note if you find any that can no longer be accessed.
