How the Rising Cost of College Is Changing Families’ Calculus
Manage episode 502128550 series 2428755
Rounding out our week looking at the finances of parenting, we’re looking at one of the biggest costs families can face: college. About 18 million students enrolled in post-secondary education this spring. That’s up from last year. And so is the price of tuition. Sandra Kilhof spoke to Journal reporter Oyin Adedoyin about how the skyrocketing cost of college is weighing on kids and parents’ decisions, and might even change what school they pick. Sabrina Siddiqui hosts.
