FOUR OUT OF 10 RECENT GRADUATES WOULD'VE ATTENDED A DIFFERENT COLLEGE--IF THEY'D UNDERSTOOD THE TOTAL COST OF THEIR EDUCATION. THAT'S ACCORDING TO A NEW STUDY FROM "PLUS-U"--A NEW, FREE, ONLINE, COLLEGE-MATCHING SERVICE. "PLUS-U" HELPS STUDENTS MAKE INFORMED DECISIONS ABOUT SELECTING THE RIGHT SCHOOL--BASED ON BOTH A PERSONALIZED MATCHING-PROCESS, AND THE FINANCIAL COSTS AND RETURN-BENEFITS. ALL OF THAT INFORMATION CAN HELP STUDENTS SUCCEED IN COLLEGE, AND IN LIFE--IN TERMS OF JOBS, EARNING POTENTIAL, AND SATISFACTION. STUDENTS COMPLETE AN ONLINE QUESTIONNAIRE--AND "PLUS-U" TAILORS A LIST OF RECOMMENDED SCHOOLS; IT ALSO MATCHES STUDENTS TO FUNDING, AND TO A CAREER-PATH. IT'S A COMPLETE "COLLEGE-INFORMATION MARKETPLACE". WHAT'S MORE, TO HELP STUDENTS MAXIMIZE THEIR RETURN, "PLUS-U" IS GIVING AWAY 200-THOUSAND DOLLARS, IN SCHOLARSHIPS, THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. TO ENTER THE GIVEAWAY, AND TO LEARN MORE, VISIT "PLUS"-DASH-"U"-DOT-COM; THAT'S "P-L-U-S"-DASH-THE-LETTER-"U"-DOT-COM.
