3. Colleges rarely give merit scholarships to 3.0 students.
4. All athletes get a free ride.
5. A four-year college degree is required for every career today.
6. I’ll never find my students’ right college
7. I’ll never pay off my education loan debt.
8. We haven’t saved a dime; we’ll never afford college.
