## Resource

Everyone these days knows that a college education doesn't come cheap. It's a major investment for families and, if not handled properly, can lead to financial hardship after graduation. But can you get a good education without paying full price? To answer that question and to discover ways that parents and students can find the perfect college fit academically, socially, and financially, I talked with college consultant Lee Norwood to tell us all about it. In this episode you will learn: When parents and students should start the college search process. How to set up a college planning timeline. What should be on your timeline. How to make a balanced list of potential schools. Whether test scores are still important.
