WASHINGTON - Sept. 16, 2019 - Attending college is an investment from students and their parents. Loans and other forms of payment including sweat equity via internships allow for students to attend. But what is to come after the graduation? How will loans be repaid and the equity from experiences used to ensure that next chapter is fruitful? This is where "Don't Waste Your College Tuition" comes into play.
Don't Waste Your College Tuition was written to encourage students to do the same by building on one simple belief: College is a great investment, but graduation shouldn't be the only return. More than a degree factory, this book argues that college is an intellectual hub literally overflowing with resources to help develop students' potential, but there is one catch.
It is up to the student to take advantage of the opportunities.
Through practical yet purpose-driven questions, Don't Waste Your College Tuition empowers students to thrive both in and out of the classroom. Building strong professional relationships, cultivating a brand, and finding ways to optimize internships and fellowships are just a few of the topics covered in this book. Chapters divided for each year (freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior) makes reading easy and cumulative.
