Very informative!

I wish I would have picked up this book earlier! But the book is a fantastic overview of the process and it dives deeper into areas I needed to know more about. I appreciated info for the “sometimes” and “never” families which covers how to fund college when you qualify for little or no FAFSA help, yet still cannot afford to pay out of pocket on a monthly basis.

I have heard this narrator before and ... unfortunately I’m not a fan, but that was really hear nor there.

An excellent outline of the process

I loved the way she broke it down into segments and framed it as a project to be managed. The kitchen rehab analogy resonated with me.

Great Resource for College Planning

The author is balanced in opinions and brings up many concerns I would never have thought of.

Read this before your child's senior year of h.s!

Must read for parents planning to send your children to college. I appreciate the frank useful information!

Does not contain much actionable information

This book is ok and worth a listen if you have kids going to college. It does not contain much actionable information. The one-page timeline in the included PDF is a useful one-stop-shop checklist which you won't find in other resources.
