College is not all about full-tuition


What do you think if you hear full tuition at college? Most students will say the same thing that full tuition at college means that you commit a suicide for your money. Is that severe the financial condition at college?

Yes, the common sense will say that attending college school without financial aid is terrible and completely expensive. But, you should not be dragged out by the public/common sense that there are not any opportunities for you attending college through the back up of financial aids.

The fact is different as we can see huge number of financial aids are available from various sponsors. You can apply for those ones and also get the lower price for your college tuition. The latest statistic by an economist of University of Columbia shows that only one-third of the college students pay full tuition. Here are some analyses from the study.

The most significant factor that contributes the financial problem for the college students is the financial aids. Most of the students at universities in the United States are receiving the financial aids from government grants or other scholarships. The increase number of the financial grants for the students is up to 40 percent since 2005, and also the availability of the tax-based aid that is up to 78 percent. As the result is that most of the students at the undergraduate level receive the financial aid with total averagely $6,500 annually in grant aid and nearly $1,000 in tax-based aid to help defray tuition and fees. 

The financial aids are available for most of the college level education in most of countries across the world. The easiness in getting the scholarships should be considered that this depends on the student’s competence to get the financial aids; but, the aids are available with enough amounts for the students.

At the last, however, we should remember that the highest spending for the college students is not for the full tuition at the college. This is for the living expenses. This is not supposed to be considered as the university policy; this is the real life when everybody needs to eat.

Friendship at college, building networks


What can you see from such fresh students at college? This is always common when the fresh students at college are always talking about their friends at high schools. The question is that are those high school friends with you after the graduation? This might be lucky when you are having your college together with them. What if not?

Basically, as the fresh students, you should look deeper in understanding and adapting with the college life. There is something different when you are talking about friendships at college. Because it’s true, most high school friendships do not last that long. Occasionally you have a small group of friends that you stay close with as life goes on but I think that those life-long friends are made in college. Don’t get me wrong that friendship at high school is not important; it is important. But, be realistic that you should start your new network as you are at college.

Right after you attended the college, you will discover the wider place to build your networks and also the friendships through social communities, athletics, researches, and any other organizations. College is a place where those friends and you go through hardships of studying all night; understand each other’s situations—as you will live far with your family, and work side by side to achieve your career goals.

Yes, the network is very important to build during your time at college. They say networking is the key in landing a good job. Well what better place to start networking than in college? Amongst your peers are the future doctors, engineers, business leaders, lawyers and so much more.

So, don’t waste your time to keep talking about your highs school and forget the value of networking at college. This is true that the friendships at college will stick together for your future; you are not talking about the game and gangs, but you are talking about the upcoming life, the future where you live. A close friend is someone that you trust and talk to when you are at your lowest.
