College in Three YearsCollege in Three Years describes how students and parents can save large sums of money and considerable time by completing a college degree in three years. The costs described in university catalogs do not include signficant hidden costs and the opportunity costs of being in school instead of working. These expenses are described as well as ways to avoid them. Also described are the ways in which the amounts of financial aid are calculated. In today's world it is nearly impossible to work one's way through college. In fact, work and savings often reduce the amounts of financial aid. College in Three Years shows how one can use organizational skills and a student's brainpower to save money and time. Students may take Advanced Placement, College-Level Exams, and other tests to earn credits without taking college courses. One can use the Internet, correspondence courses, and community college courses to acquire credits even before one begins one's freshman year in college. Instead of part-time employment that reduces financial aid, the book recommends taking extra courses and summer school to accelerate the process of education. With the costs of many colleges being $25,000 a year and more, and the opportunity costs of going to school rather than being employed amount to about the same sum, it is easy to calculate the potential savings that will result by following the recommendations of this work. Follow the advice of this book, graduate from college in three years, and you will save lots of money and time.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A highly recommended guide with useful advice,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: College in Three Years: Stop Wasting Time and Money (Paperback)
John C. Attig's College In Three Years: Stop Wasting Time & Money is a very practical, sensible, "user friendly" guide to conserving the expenses of a higher education. Offering advice on using advanced placement tests and college-level exams to earn credits without taking courses, as well as Internet correspondence courses and community college courses, College In Three Years also advises shortening a college career by taking extra courses and summer school, instead of a part-time job which will not only reduce one's available time for education but which will also reduce opportunities for financial aid. A highly recommended guide with useful advice even for those who don't have three years in college as their exact maximum goal, College In Three Years is especially recommended and invaluable reading for anyone seeking a college degree despite limited financial resources.

Excellent Resource,
By Julie Sayen (Bowling Green, Ohio) - See all my reviews
This review is from: College in Three Years: Stop Wasting Time and Money (Paperback)
What an excellent topic!! I obtained 2 Bachelors degrees and spent 8 years in college before settling on my current career. As a result, I am still paying on student loans that I could have avoided had I had a reference book like this to refer to. I wish I would have had this book when I was in college! It definitely would have helped. I recommend any high school student or his/her parents read this book when making college plans and that any college student unsure of his/her future also read it. High school guidance counselors would be wise to have this book available for students and parents.
