A student can attend an in-state or an out-of-state school, a public or private college, a two-year community college program or a four-year university program. Students can attend full-time and have a bachelor of arts degree by the age of twenty-three or mix college and work, progressing toward a degree more slowly. To make matters more complicated, the array of financial aid available is more complex than ever. Students and their families must weigh federal grants, state merit scholarships, college tax credits, and college savings accounts, just to name a few. In College Choices, Caroline Hoxby and a distinguished group of economists show how students and their families really make college decisions-how they respond to financial aid options, how peer relationships figure in the decision-making process, and even whether they need mentoring to get through the admissions process. Students of all sorts are considered-from poor students, who may struggle with applications and whether to continue on to college, to high aptitude students who are offered "free rides" at elite schools. College Choices utilizes the best methods and latest data to analyze the college decision-making process, while explaining how changes in aid and admissions practices inform those decisions as well. 410 0$aNational Bureau of Economic Research conference report. 606 $aCollege choice$xEconomic aspects$zUnited States$vCongresses 606 $aStudent aid$zUnited States$vCongresses 606 $aCollege attendance$zUnited States$vCongresses 610 $acollege guides, handbook, business, economics, students, parents, public schools, private, higher education, educational policy, community program, four-year degree plan, application process, job prospects, tuition, books, united states, admissions, financial aid, student debt, tax credits, bachelor of arts, graduate ed, economists, attendance. 615 0$aCollege choice$xEconomic aspects 615 0$aStudent aid 615 0$aCollege attendance 676 $a378.30973 701 $aHoxby$b Caroline Minter$0309547 712 02$aNational Bureau of Economic Research. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910784889503321 996 $aCollege choices$93688788 997 $aUNINA
