A Must Read for Parents with College Bound Children Jul 25, 2008
By Henry Chace
The most important decisions you'll make with your kids is the kind of education they will puruse and how you and they will pay for it. Surviving The Tuition Travesty showed us how a lot of higher education is really just another form of conspicuous consumption. We are now a lot smarter about sizing up the education we're buying and how we will be paying for it thanks to Ronstadt's book.

Get wise to the ways of college financing Jul 17, 2008
By Linda E. Harrington
Colleges and universities have gotten to be like big, honking SUVs: They are way too expensive to buy, waste way too much of your energy, and don't deliver a great value for the price. We could put up with SUVs when gas cost $2/gallon and higher education cost $10,000/year, but those days are gone. You need to learn how to shop smart and buy smarter when it comes to a college education. This book is a goldmine of information to help you do just that.

Really opens your eyes to the traps in financial aid Jul 17, 2008
By F. Garrison
I'm a parent of two kids who will be off to college next year and Ronstadt's book, Surviving The Tuition Travesty, has really opened my eyes and my kids eyes to the insanity that goes into deciding on and paying for a college education. If it weren't for this book I would have walked right into several of the traps that are lying out there.

Extraordinarily important and unique piece of work Jul 02, 2008
By Rajani Sadasivam
The book Surviving the Tuition Travesty authored by Dr. Robert Ronstadt is an extraordinarily important and unique piece of work. The web site of the book displayed inside the cover page as well as in the appendix www.tuitiontravesty.com is a source for additional information and a place to download the associated spreadsheet software for calculations.
When I set out to review this book, I thought that I would be reviewing another how to type of book. The reality was far from it. This book is not only for reading but it is for keeping and studying. It is full of timely and encyclopedic amount of knowledge about the tuition situation in our higher education system that everyone should know about. As a professor responsible in educating our college students I was surprised that I did not know much about this important aspect of our higher education system. What I found in this book was an eye opener which I was not aware of it despite putting two of my children through college.
