Expensive College Textbooks? That Doesn’t Mean Students Are Neccesserily Paying More

Posted on by Raffy Simit
College textbooks are notorious for being (un)justifiably expensive, but what can be done about it? There is a number of factors at play continuously increasing the prices of college textbooks (one of which includes, surprisingly, used rental books: publishers are only able to maintain a consistent rate by selling new materials!).In the last decade alone, the price of textbooks has risen by more than eighty percent. All a poor college student could do is complain, while paying through his teeth for his new textbooks, right? Not any more! It seems like some students don't mind breaking the law in order to get free textbooks. They are sharing copies of their textbooks - illegally - on torrent websites and other peer-to-peer websites.This sort of behavior is becoming worryingly widespread. The average college student this year spent about $250 less on various college supplies, including textbooks, than just a few short years ago. Are there any legal alternatives to sharing copies of college textbooks illegally?Yes, there are! Some computer sciences and math departments are creating libraries consisting of older editions of college textbooks, and some professors are even using materials freely available on the internet instead of the pricey textbooks for their classes. The others are producing e-textbooks similar to Wikipedia, supposed to supplant traditional texts. Open source textbooks would be free to use online, and cheap to download.After all, the often prohibitive expense o...

Green is Gold at Colorado State University

Posted on by Raffy Simit
Ever since its inception in 1870, Colorado State University has used green and gold as their two main colors. But within the last few years one color has become much more predominant on campus. GREEN!According to Newsweek magazine, Colorado State University is one of the greenest universities in America. They have instituted a full-on campaign towards going green that incorporates efforts from students, faculty and staff.When it comes to going green, Colorado State is about more than just changing light bulbs and encouraging public transportation. CSU offers over 100 environmentally based courses covering everything from engineering to atmospheric science. They believe that teaching environmental awareness is the most resourceful method of going green. CSU grows more than 2 million seedling trees each year in a Forest Service operation that is unmatched by any university in the country. CSU employs a pedestrian friendly campus by moving parking towards the edges of campus to encourage walking and bicycling. CSU utilizes electric, hybrid electric, and biodiesel vehicles throughout its campus. CSU recycles nearly 2 million pounds of recyclable material each year. CSU allows its on-campus residents to purchase "green" power. This endeavor has prevented more than 760,000 pounds of CO2 from entering the earth's atmosphere each year.That amount is equivalent to eliminating CO2 emissions associated with the use of nearly 40,000 gallons of gasoline annually. CSU operate...

College Finances – Twins, Triplets, & Siblings

Posted on by Raffy Simit
People have often asked me, "what's the cheapest way to get my kids through college?" My typical response is "have triplets." Generally that is followed by a quick laugh by everyone involved.By the time I am talking with families, their "family planning" is long over with. So my response is at least half jesting. But there is a tremendous amount of truth to the comment as well.College finances are typically more manageable the more students you have enrolled. The expected family contribution (EFC) is substantially affected by the number of students you have in school at the same time. In fact for the parent's portion of the EFC, it is split equally among the students enrolled in college. So if the parent's EFC is $20,000 with one child in college, it will be $10,000 for each child when there are two in college. Now this may not sound like that big of a help at first, but consider the following.The Ellis family has two children, two years apart. The oldest will start college in 2010, and the second child will start in 2012. We'll assume for this example that each child will complete college in four years. For the first child, the Ellis' EFC is $15,000, and because they have done proper planning, the children will not have an EFC contribution to add to the parent's. So their total EFC is $15,000. Now suppose that the EFC remains constant throughout the two students' time in college. For the two years that both are in school at the same time, 2012-13 and 2013-14; their EFC will ...
