<p>Picking a college for a student can be like picking a car for a student.</p>
<p>On one hand, the child has some needs/wants…and on the other the parents are paying and have their concerns. The child has to consider the family budget, and the parents have to consider what will work for their child. </p>
<p>Rarely, can a child just pick out any car the child dreams about and the parents just write the check. Same with college.</p>
