COLLEGE IS STILL WORTH IT
STUDENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES INCREASINGLY ASK WHETHER
COLLEGE IS “WORTH IT” AND CAN THEY AFFORD IT.
THE ANSWER COMES IN THE FORM OF COUNfford not to
TER QUESTIONS: Can they aff
pursue a college education? What would
the impact be if they don’t get a college degree? Some students and families look to
“return on investment.” And indeed, median annual earnings for full-time working college-degree holders ages 25 to 32 are
$17,500 greater than for those with high
school diplomas only—and the gap has
been widening.
But the return to both graduates and
college communities is much greater than
dollars and cents—such as the ability to
think critically and creatively, the acquisition of new and stronger skills, a deeper
understanding and knowledge of our
complicated world, and the likelihood of a
better quality of life.
stepped on campus. University research
labs spin off
ff into new companies and industries. Vibrant campuses energize towns
and cities with innovation.
New England colleges and universities
serve more than 1.2 million students annually from around the globe, sending them
forth as teachers, skilled medical technicians, entrepreneurs, engineers, poets, and
future Nobel laureates. They are a second
“home” to more than 60,000 foreign students. Additionally, many other students,
from every corner of the world, access
courses and degree programs 24/7 from
New England’s colleges via online learning
opportunities.
Here in New England, world-class education in fields ranging from art history to
zoology is off
ffered by the region’s 250-plus
campuses—public and private, two-year
and four-year, religious and secular, professional and liberal arts.
The New England Board of Higher Education (NEBHE) works to foster innovation and collaboration in the region.
Created in 1955, NEBHE’s mission is to
expand, through interstate cooperation,
the education opportunities and services available to the region’s residents,
with a focus on college affordability,
access, and success.
The region’s colleges and universities also
prepare students for occupations that may

colleges and universities in the other New
England states when they pursue specialized majors.
More than 9,500 students take advantage
of this program every year, accessing over
750 unique and cutting-edge academic degree programs and saving $7,000, on average, each year on their tuition bills.
Since it was established in 1957, Tuition
Break has provided New England students
and families with over $1 billion in savings. And the six states have saved untold
millions of dollars by avoiding duplication
of programs already available in other New
England states. Learn more about the program in this guide or visit our website at
nebhe.org/tuitionbreak.
NEBHE thanks Boston magazine for the
opportunity to work together to produce
the 2015 Guide. It will be a valuable resource
in connecting you with the region’s wide
array of colleges, opening doors for continued learning, degree attainment, career
advancement, and intellectual enrichment.

AS ARTHUR DENT IN THE HITCHHIKERS GUIDE TO THE GALAXY
Y SAYS, DON’T PANIC.
There are financial aid packages available to virtually all institutions: some
based on need (federal, state, or school grants; federal loans; work study),
some on merit (determined by high school performance, test scores, or
talent) and some for athletics.

It’s probably preaching to the choir to say that financing a college education is substantially less expensive
if you pay with savings instead of loans, which must
be repaid. MEFA shows that by saving $6,960, and
earning $3,040 in interest, your actual expenditure in
paying off $10,000 in college costs is only $6,960. By
taking out a $10,000 loan, to continue the example,
the interest accrued is $3,920, so the cost will actually
be $13,920. Learn more at mefa.org.
USING YOUR HIGH SCHOOL
THE CHANCES ARE YOUR STUDENT’S HIGH SCHOOL HAS NOT ONLY COLLEGE INFO SESSIONS FOR
STUDENTS, BUT ALSO SEPARATE SEMINARS FOR PARENTS. Bob Hall, Guidance Team Leader at
Colchester High School in Vermont says, “We hold three parent nights in the spring for juniors, a senior night in the fall, and a
financial night for all parents in the fall. For freshman and sophomore parents we have one night, as well.”
“Dual Enrollment—taking college courses in high school—is often recommended for students. Not specifically to save money
although the courses are free, but it is an opportunity for students to explore what they’re really interested in and stick their toe in
the college water and get a sense of their readiness,” Hall explains.

C OL L E GE GU ID E FO R PARENTS
TWO-YEAR OR FOUR-YEAR?
YES, IT WILL COST LESS FOR YOUR STUDENT TO START HIS COLLEGE CAREER AT A TWO-YEAR
COMMUNITY COLLEGE and then transfer to a four-year institution, if that’s what she wants,
or what her grades dictate for admission, or he just needs some time to live at home and
mature. There are many reasons why this can be a viable, even a good option.
“The two plus two route does make financial sense for a lot of kids,” says Colchester High’s
Bob Hall. “We also recommend that a community college be a financial safety school
when students make their list of ‘safe’ schools, because you never know what the financial
aid situation is going to look like, even with the cost calculators that each school has on
its website.”
Bill Boozang, Associate Vice President and Dean of Online and Continuing Education at
Newbury College in Brookline says, “Transferring continues to gain popularity among
18-22-year-old, first-time college attendees. For various reasons, earning an associate’s degree while commuting or online, then completing a baccalaureate degree is the right choice
for some students.” Newbury greatly values these transfers, accepting 54 percent of them.
However, Andrew Flagel, Senior Vice President for Students and Enrollment at Brandeis
University in Waltham, maintains that, while he is “a huge fan of community colleges,
there are still far more spaces of entry for first year students to the most competitive colleges like Brandeis, than for transfer students. I certainly wouldn’t want to see any academically qualified students count themselves out as a first-year because of cost because,
by and large, those students will find financial support at the four-year institutions.”

GAP YEAR?
ARE FOUR YEARS
REALLY FOUR YEARS?
Taking a gap year continues to
be a growing trend, and is even
endorsed by some colleges.
Sometimes it’s for financial
reasons, but “increasingly, in a
culture which values choosing
a major-to-career path from the
outset, a structured gap year can
offer both emotional maturity
and better career focus for those
uncertain of their professional
pursuits. So five- and six-year
completion rates aren’t as unusual
as you would think,” maintains
Bill Boozang.

CHOOSING THE RIGHT SCHOOL
HOW DOES YOUR STUDENT GET INTO THAT IVY LEAGUE OR TOP
TIER SCHOOL? Colchester High’s Bob Hall always tells his kids
that “there is no secret sauce. There is no formula that will
get a student in to the school of her choice. But,” he says, “if
your child is that strong, the secret sauce is that student. Work
hard, get excellent grades, have excellent test scores, and then
look for those schools that have full academic scholarships.
Why would you pay money to go to a Tufts or BU when you
could go somewhere else for free or near free?”
Hall points out: “I think people get too hung up on good
reputation. At the end of the day, no one really cares where
you went to undergraduate school. Only that you went and
graduated. It sounds cynical, but it’s the truth. There are a
lot of good colleges out there and a marquee named school
is not going to take a poor student and turn him into a
great student.”
Brandeis’ Andrew Flagel agrees, and goes further to explain,
“There is this mythology that college admissions are both
12
GUIDE TO NEW ENGLAND COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES | 2015
complex yet easy to predict. It’s quite the opposite. It is fairly
simple, as it is predominantly about academic record, but it is
very hard to predict.” Each year he finds students who believe
they have to be funny or stand out, or come up with some
gimmick. That works against 90 percent of them because,
“the application process is genuinely about showing yourself
to your best advantage and sharing your strong academic record. That’s what makes the biggest difference at the most
competitive institutions.”
“The part that’s unpredictable,” Flagel continues, “is that there
is no way of knowing how, in any given year if the school is
looking for another double reed instrument player for the
band, or if they have a few more spaces in physics than in
biology. That complexity of trying to game the system is quite
impossible for students. But it feeds into the idea that it is a
prize to be won in order to get into the ‘perfect’ college. The
reality is there are probably dozens of ‘perfect’ schools for most
students. There are 4,000 colleges and universities, and most of
them are quite successful at supporting students’ success.”
C OL L E GE GU ID E FO R PARENTS
WHAT TO INCLUDE IN YOUR
CHILD’S APPLICATION?
COLLEGES WANT TO SEE THE FOLLOWING IN YOUR APPLICATION PACKAGE:
YOUR HIGH SCHOOL GRADE POINT AVERAGE
ACT OR SAT SCORES (in some but not all cases)
TEACHER AND OTHER PERSONAL RECOMMENDATIONS
TIP: Include a self-addressed, stamped envelope to all who agree to write a recommendation for you. Be sure the
date you need it is written on it, and you might suggest topics you want them to cover. Write a thank-you note to
each person.
ACCOMPLISHMENTS IN AND
OUTSIDE OF SCHOOL Patricia Peek
advises, “The student should
share a range of school- and
community-based activities that
demonstrate leadership, service,
and commitment; presenting a
well-written essay that exhibits
college-level composition and
critical thinking skills; and
choosing recommenders whose
letters can give us an additional
dimension of the students that we
could not find elsewhere in the
application.”
TIP: Bragging is ok.
AN INTERVIEW
YOUR PERSONALLY WRITTEN RESPONSE TO ESSAY QUESTIONS As Patricia Peek, Director
of Undergraduate Admission at Fordham University, says, “In many cases, the application
is an admission officer’s
ffi
first opportunity to ‘meet’ the student. While the student should
present himself or herself in the best light, that shouldn’t be at odds with his or her
authentic voice. We want students to be themselves, and convey who they are so that we’ll
know if they fit with who we are. We want students who will thrive at Fordham, and the
personal essay is part of the hard-to-quantify ‘fit.
fi ’”
TIP: Carefully read what each school wants in an essay and don’t write the same one for every school. The
biggest no-no is sending a recycled essay with the wrong school name that you’ve forgotten to change because
it was buried in the body of the essay. It’s an automatic disqualification.
14
GUIDE TO NEW ENGLAND COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES | 2015
TIP: A personal interview is your chance to
show your interest in the school and your
personality. Can you think about a memorable
way to introduce yourself? Dress for success,
as if this is a job interview. No flip-flops or
cutoffs. Think about your answers before
responding, and prepare in advance an answer
to the question as to why you want to attend
this particular college. Write a thank-you note
after each interview.

STEP AWAY
FROM THE
CONTROL
NOW COMES THE HARDEST PART. When
should you step away from the control and
let your student manage their own college
application process? Or should you be involved?
“College raises very large and often complex financial decisions for families,” so
Brandeis’ Andrew Flagel feels that “parents
are, by and large, the best support system
for students. I find parents are tremendous
partners in the education process. The
idea is how do you balance your child’s
independence and being supportive at the
same time?”
He continues, “Th
The complexity of our university systems makes it difficult
ffi
for parents
not to be engaged because the student is
faced with a lot of bureaucracy, and adults
are so much more experienced in navigating
bureaucracy, that helping their student find
the right path and connect with the right
folks, is not an unrealistic expectation.”
T H E
N E X T
S T E P
IT’S YOURS TO TAKE. Walking that fine line of being a
supportive and encouraging partner with your student, but respecting their wishes in wanting to take the responsibility of
making their own decisions as they step into the next, adult
phase of their life. You can do it. Take a deep breath and smile.
16
GUIDE TO NEW ENGLAND COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES | 2015
Lastly, Flagel urges parents to be involved
as it pertains to the student who comes
to campus with significant prescription
medications, whether it is psychotropic or
medication to treat ADD or ADHD. Many
don’t report the information to the health
and/or counseling center, even though
those are entirely private organizations.
“Recognizing that there is sensitivity on
the subject, coupled with the fact these
are powerful drugs, entrusted to students
who are on their own for the first time, it
can create a good deal of risk. I always encourage families to engage the health side
of the administration in making sure the
institution is attending to that area of their
student’s need.”
FINANCIAL AID HELPS OFFSET
YOUR COLLEGE COSTS
THANKS TO FINANCIAL AID, THE OUT-OF-POCKET COST OF A COLLEGE EDUCATION FOR MOST STUDENTS
IS MUCH LOWER THAN THE LISTED PRICE. TO HELP STUDENTS AND FAMILIES BETTER ANTICIPATE THE
ACTUAL COST, COLLEGES LIST THEIR TYPICAL “NET PRICE” ON THEIR WEB SITES.
A COLLEGE’S LISTED PRICE INCLUDES TUITION, FEES, AND ROOM AND
BOARD (if provided on campus), as well as the estimated “indirect”
costs of attending college, including books, supplies, transportation, and personal expenses. Th
The listed cost surpasses $60,000
annually at some colleges. But very few students pay full price. Fortunately the entire cost is taken into consideration when colleges
award fi
financial aid.
FINANCIAL AID: TYPES AND SOURCES
There are two basic types of financial aid: scholarships and grants,
which don’t need to be repaid, and loans which need to be repaid
(unless forgiven under special circumstances).
Scholarships and grants are based on financial need and/or sometimes other criteria, such as merit (academic and personal achievement), program of study, religious affiliation,
ffi
ethnicity, memberships, hobbies, or special interests.
Financial aid comes from four basic sources: the federal government, state government, colleges and universities, and the private
sector (such as foundations, corporations and banks).
STEPS IN APPLYING
Complete the financial aid application required by the
college(s) where you are applying for admission, and submit it
before their deadline.
Complete the FAFSA (the federal government’s Free Application for Federal Student Aid) as soon as possible aft
fter January
1 to receive aid for the following academic year. This
Th application is completed for every year of enrollment. File online at:
studentaid.ed.gov/fafsa. For one-on-one help to complete the
FAFSA, check collegegoalsundayusa.org and your high school
guidance office.
ffi
Complete the College Board’s “Profile”
fi application if it is required by the college(s) where you are applying. File online at:
student.collegeboard.org/css-fi
financial-aid-profi
file.
Research and apply to other funding sources such as state fi
financial aid agencies, private businesses, foundations, community
organizations, and veterans’ groups. Check with high school counselors, the local public library, and search for scholarships online.
WHAT’S IN A COLLEGE’S FINANCIAL AID AWARD?
THE COLLEGE TAKES INTO ACCOUNT THE ESTIMATED TOTAL COST OF ATTENDANCE AND THE STUDENT’S FINANCIAL NEED (which is calculated
based on the completed financial aid applications and any other required documentation used by the college).
The college off
ffers the student a financial aid package, which may be a combination of scholarships (need-based and/or merit) funded by the
college or state; federal or state grants; federal work-study (which allows a student to earn up to a specifi
fied amount); and low-interest federal
loans (for the student and/or the parent).
Financial aid awards may vary from college to college. A college may be willing to improve the award, especially if there are unusual family
circumstances which are not refl
flected in the standard applications.

MARLBORO COLLEGE
Marlboro, VT | marlboro.edu
E
A RADICALLY TRADITIONAL COLLEGE
ngaging Academics
Marlboro is an intellectually demanding academic community,
where students work closely with faculty to map out an
individualized course of study based on their most passionate
intellectual interests. After studying broadly and creatively
across disciplines, students embark on a self-designed Plan of
Concentration, an in-depth exploration of a focused academic area
culminating in a major work of scholarship. Marlboro’s reputation
is substantiated by an overall academic rating of 98 (out of 99) in
Princeton Review’s 2015 edition of The Best 379 Colleges.
Creative Community
Marlboro is intentionally small, an exceptionally close-knit learning
community where individual students are seen, heard, known, and
valued. Students connect in meaningful ways with fellow community
members, from library staff to the president, and come to know each
other as independent thinkers. Campus life correlates directly with
student interests, with extracurricular groups and activities evolving
yearly with each incoming class. Through this ongoing collective
creation of community, Marlboro students develop valuable teamwork
skills as well as a strong sense of civic investment.
Inspiring Location
As one of Vermont’s premier colleges, Marlboro’s educational
programs uphold the state’s unique character—from a commitment
to environmental stewardship and sustainability to a deep respect
for individual and human rights. Marlboro’s inspiring natural
setting provides students with space for quiet contemplation as well
as myriad opportunities for outdoor recreation. With 17 miles of
on-campus trails and the nearby Green Mountain National Forest,
students have easy access to hiking, mountain biking, skiing, caving,
climbing, kayaking, and more.
