Why is my EFC so high?

Fees can be a significant cost at a college and are often not included in the tuition.

At my S’s college, fees comprise $4,000 of the yearly cost for example.

All I’m aiming to accomplish here, is to give helpful information to students, so they can make informed (financial) (college) decisions.

MODERATOR’S NOTE: @Empireapple and @austinmshauri please move on. CC is not a debate society. When you find yourselves going back and forth, it means you need to drop it.

Other users should keep in mind that I’ve deleted several posts. A lot of times, people look at a thread and say, “I don’t see any problem - what’s the big deal?” not understanding that moderators have had to clean up the thread already.
