Synopsis

College in Three YearsCollege in Three Years describes how students and parents can save large sums of money and considerable time by completing a college degree in three years. The costs described in university catalogs do not include signficant hidden costs and the opportunity costs of being in school instead of working. These expenses are described as well as ways to avoid them. Also described are the ways in which the amounts of financial aid are calculated. In today's world it is nearly impossible to work one's way through college. In fact, work and savings often reduce the amounts of financial aid. College in Three Years shows how one can use organizational skills and a student's brainpower to save money and time. Students may take Advanced Placement, College-Level Exams, and other tests to earn credits without taking college courses. One can use the Internet, correspondence courses, and community college courses to acquire credits even before one begins one's freshman year in college. Instead of part-time employment that reduces financial aid, the book recommends taking extra courses and summer school to accelerate the process of education. With the costs of many colleges being $25,000 a year and more, and the opportunity costs of going to school rather than being employed amount to about the same sum, it is easy to calculate the potential savings that will result by following the recommendations of this work. Follow the advice of this book, graduate from college in three years, and you will save lots of money and time.
