Now is the time to have a discussion
If you have strong preferences or limitations with regard to:
• costs• distance/travel options• location near family • or any other factors
Do not wait until after your student has
applied and possibly been accepted to express these limitations.
Even if it is not apparent, students are aware of college costs and they do worry.
(Discuss viable options now rather than in April.)
