The 4th of July is a good time to remind the college bound (and their parents) that the United States has not only the most coveted system of higher education in the world, but also the most open and accessible. There are over 2,000 colleges and universities from which to choose, the average acceptance rate is 75%, and there are billions of dollars in financial aid available. Best of all, you don’t have to attend a famous, highly selective, or expensive college to reap all the benefits. It’s what you do while you’re there that will be most important.
Happy fourth!
