Abstract	Packed within the big bundle of worries that high school students and their parents bring to the college admission process, the bulkiest item is often how they will pay for it. And too often, experts say, it is not about lacking money, but lacking information. There is often a lot of confusion about college costs, and while it might simply complicate the selection process for some students or disappoint others because a school is out of reach financially, it also may cause some to make a bad decision about enrollment or even be forced to drop out. Some underestimate the cost of college, but just as often students believe they cannot attend a school for which they may be eligible. (ERIC).
