Coming soon: Essential guide to college in New York
Newsday is launching a brand new guide to help students and families prepare for the college search.
From understanding what you’ll actually pay to comparing acceptance rates, Newsday journalists are bringing together the data insights and expert advice to help students and families make smarter decisions, from the first campus visit to the final acceptance letter.
So much has changed about applying to college-- students are doing more to prepare earlier in high school (even in 9th grade). Long Island families may earn too much money to qualify for financial aid, even as there are new federal limits on student loans. Families are thinking more about the investment of college and how that pays off with salaries after graduation.
Newsday’s college guide will also cover:
- Why a college's sticker price is less important than you might think–and what typical students actually pay to attend specific colleges.
- Which colleges have the highest return-on-investment with earnings 10 years later, and which institutions have students carrying the highest debt load.
- Most popular SUNY schools for Long Island students–and top areas of study.
- NY’s top community colleges
We’re also launching a new, all-in-one-place tool to explore compare acceptance rates, actual costs and admissions data from more than 150 colleges in New York.
