Aspiring college students and their families have many options. A
student can attend an in-state or an out-of-state school, a public
or private college, a two-year community college program or a
four-year university program. Students can attend full-time and
have a bachelor of arts degree by the age of twenty-three or mix
college and work, progressing toward a degree more slowly. To make
matters more complicated, the array of financial aid available is
more complex than ever. Students and their families must weigh
federal grants, state merit scholarships, college tax credits, and
college savings accounts, just to name a few.
In "College Choices," Caroline Hoxby and a distinguished group of
economists show how students and their families really make college
decisions--how they respond to financial aid options, how peer
relationships figure in the decision-making process, and even
whether they need mentoring to get through the admissions process.
Students of all sorts are considered--from poor students, who may
struggle with applications and whether to continue on to college,
to high aptitude students who are offered "free rides" at elite
schools. "College Choices" utilizes the best methods and latest
data to analyze the college decision-making process, while
explaining how changes in aid and admissions practices inform those
decisions as well.
