Choosing a college can be one of the most important decisions in a person s life. The universities that students attend will train them for their future careers, give them the education they need to think critically and solve real-world problems, and connect them to a lifelong social network and community. While invaluable, the benefits of higher education don t come cheap especially if the choice is a private school. Tuition and fees at private colleges clocked in at more than $35,000 a year on average in the 2018-2019 school year. That s nearly four times as much as what a student would typically spend to attend an in-state public college, according to data from U.S. News & World Report. No wonder recent graduates of private nonprofit schools typically shoulder about $32,600 in student debt, according to Matt Carter of Credible.
