“When I was a child, I dreamed of being a Husky at UW. But when it came time to choose a college, I was intimidated by the UW's size—While I know a large university can be the right choice for some people, I found out that I would do better in a smaller community.”

Financial Aid at
Independent Colleges

Don't let tuition be the only factor you consider when choosing a college. Lots of financial aid is avilable at independent colleges which means that students graduate with about the same amount of debt and get into the workforce earlier.
