The cost of college in Western New York

The cost of college has risen all over the country, and schools in our home of Western New York have not been an exception.

Check out this video from WGRZ to learn about the cost of higher education in the Western New York region and how President Obama will address the issue in his visit to the area later this week.

With college expenses continuing to climb, it’s never been more important to consider the school’s (and your major’s) return on investment before committing to spend tens or hundreds of thousands to attend college.

Wherever you plan on attending college, make sure to consider all of the extra expenses associated with attending–not just tuition price. Fees, room, and board can really add up.

And remember that sticker prices aren’t absolute–a generous financial aid package can dramatically reduce a college’s cost of attendance.
