About this event
Join author,
Ron Lieber, for a discussion of his new book
The Price You Pay for College, on Monday, January 25th at 7:30pm.
Ron Lieber, New York Times “Your Money” columnist and author of the bestselling The Opposite of Spoiled offers a deeply reported and emotionally honest approach to the biggest financial decision families will ever make: what to pay for college.
More information and tickets are available here:
Sending a teenager to a flagship state university for four years of on-campus living costs more than $100,000 in many parts of the United States. Meanwhile, many families of freshmen attending selective private colleges will spend triple—over $300,000. With the same passion, smarts, and humor that infuse his hugely popular personal finance column, Ron Lieber offers a much-needed roadmap to help families navigate this difficult and often confusing journey.
Lieber begins by explaining who pays what and why and how the financial aid system got so complicated. He also pulls the curtain back on merit aid, an entirely new form of discounting that most colleges now use to compete with peers.
The Price You Pay for College gives parents the clarity they need to make informed choices and helps restore the joy and wonder the college experience is supposed to represent.
Ron Lieber will be joined by Anand Giridharadas and Priya Parker.
Park Slope Parents is a proud media sponsor of this event alongside Community Bookstore and Congregation Beth Elohim.
