Barnes & NobleThe Price You Pay for College- An Entirely New Road Map for the Biggest Financial Decision Your Family Will Ever Make by Ron Lieber

Named one of the best books of 2021 by NPR New York Times Bestseller and a New York Times Book Review Editor's Choice pick "Masterly. . . . represents an extraordinary achievement- It is comprehensive and detailed without being tedious, practical without being banal, impeccably well judged and unusually rigorous. "-Daniel Markovits, New York Times Book Review "Ron Lieber is a gift. " -Scott Galloway. The hugely popular New York Times Your Money columnist and author of the bestselling The Opposite of Spoiled offers a deeply reported and emotionally honest approach to the biggest financial decision families will ever make- what to pay for college-a decision made even more confusing because of the Covid-19 pandemic. Sending a teenager to a flagship state university for four years of on-campus living costs more than $100,000 in many parts of the United States. Meanwhile, many families of freshmen attending selective private colleges will spend triple-over $300,000. With the same passion, smarts, and humor that infuse his personal finance column, Ron Lieber offers a much-needed roadmap to help families navigate this difficult and often confusing journey. Lieber begins by explaining who pays what and why and how the financial aid system got so complicated.
