Not sure if you could describe the information out there as a mountain or a swamp. The major issues we confront are that the colleges market directly to the students (very aggressively, as you point out) and bypass the parents to a large degree.

Yet the payment issue revolves the Expected Family Contribution. So, oftentimes, not all the stakeholders (parents and possibly siblings) are in the game, so to speak, until late on.

Like your blog and will keep up with you.

I actually recommended using the matchmaker on College Board for my niece who is a senior in high school, and it really helped her because she had a lot of questions and didn’t know which school would suit her best. It is so great that they have helpful databases like this.
