Step 1: What will it cost?

Although some college costs you hear about can be quite daunting, most colleges are more affordable than you might think. Nearly 70 percent of students attending four-year schools pay less than $8,000 for tuition and fees. And financial aid can help reduce the amount your family will actually pay.
