Going to College – And not going broke in the process

For Oakridge students and Oakridge parents.

OK – here you go – everything you need to know about taking on the challenge of paying for college, organized into a Blendspace post below. Please listen to the audioboo podcast and then read the Introduction TOC of Blendspace. That should get you comfortable with the post.
