Part Six — For Parents

6

Written for the parent reading over a shoulder, or reading alone the night before the conversation.

This part is written to you directly. The student can read it too — there is nothing here we would hide from them — but it is addressed to you.

In this part

  1. The single most useful thing you can do
  2. What has changed since you chose
  3. Things families say, and what is actually true
  4. The conversation, and how to have it
  5. Ten questions to ask before you pay any college fee
  6. And one thing to hold on to
