This was a very good book and helped me out a lot. I recommend that every High School student worried about paying for college read it. Thanks to this book I will be attending College this fall for free.

Despite it's ambitious title I wonder how many people read this book and actually accomplish the goal of attending college for almost free. It's a good read, and I encourage young college bound people to read it.

A little out of date (the copy I got from the library was from 2002). Information is most helpful for high school students and undergrads.
