How much does college really cost—and how can families make smarter financial decisions before choosing a school? In this episode of Marci Talks Money (and Life), I talk with Lessa Scherrer, a college admissions counselor who works with students and families on college planning, financial aid, school selection, and the admissions process. We discuss the financial realities of paying for college, including the total cost of attendance, FAFSA, need-based and merit-based financial aid, student loans, Parent PLUS loans, private loans, and the importance of understanding who is responsible for college debt. Lessa also shares insights about choosing colleges based on both student fit and family finances, avoiding expensive mistakes, considering alternatives such as community college and early college programs, and helping students navigate an increasingly complicated college process. https://Collegeinsidetrack.com https://www.linkedin.com/in/lessascherrer/
