It's like "College Week" on MarketPlace

It's time to study the value of college
College education costs continue to soar at the same time studies show college graduates getting paid less. Commentator David Frum says Americans should re-examine the real value of a college degree in today's economy.

A growing chunk of college costs is the price of textbooks, on which the typical undergraduate spends $900 a year. So a group of college professors is calling for low-priced and free texts online. Congress is getting involved, too.

In digging these up I also found for you this story about consolidating student loans. It's from March, but still good.
