Don’t wait until you’ve already set up your dorm room to figure out how much your college degree will cost. Instead, get the info you need early, so you can plan the next four years accordingly. Many colleges’ websites have financial aid calculators you can use to determine how much you will ultimately pay. You can also head to www.finaid.org/calculators/, which has several customized calculators that crunch tuition numbers, depending on your particular needs and situation.
