Cost is an important consideration as juniors develop their college list. After all, what parents will pay for college affects the entire family, so I always recommend that parents discuss college costs with their students before they apply. And for seniors waiting for their admission decisions, costs and any awarded aid and scholarships should be considered. Here is an informative article from the Washington Post on college costs.
