A few comments from listeners:
A lot of new information was presented. Great insights and take aways.
- Dawn D.

It's interesting to note that some factors that are favorable for affordability or financial aid purposes (like attending community college for those intent on earning eventual bachelor's degrees), may be less conducive to achievement of eventual bachelor's degrees.
- Michael D.

Look closely at the situation with clients if the student chooses to take a gap year or chooses to work more than 12 hours a week. It counterintuitively affects the amount of student loan.
- Tony S.

Working during college doesn't help alleviate debt but financial literacy does!
