I can help — do you want me to (pick one)
- Mark the survey for you now based on typical student situations, or
- Help you think through each statement so you can answer accurately?
Quick guidance to use when deciding agree/disagree (and note: your list shows each statement twice):
1) "I have a good idea as to what college I want to attend after graduation, and cost was a major factor in that decision."
- Agree if you’ve chosen or are strongly leaning toward a specific school and cost (tuition, room/board, net price after aid) was a primary reason.
- Disagree if you’re undecided, still comparing schools, or other factors (program fit, location) mattered more than cost.
2) "I believe that it is possible to go to college debt free."
- Agree if you think scholarships, grants, family contributions, work during school, community college + transfer, or attending an in-state public school could cover costs.
- Disagree if you think loans will be necessary given your expected resources and the schools you’re considering.
3) "Everyone uses student loans to attend college. I don't see any reason I should be different."
- Agree only if you accept loans as the norm for your situation and don’t plan alternatives.
- Disagree if you want to explore scholarships, costs-reducing strategies, or plan to minimize/avoid loans.
4) "I have considered technical school and other 21st century educational options for my career of choice."
- Agree if you researched or compared alternatives (community college, apprenticeships, certifications, bootcamps) and how they fit your career goals.
- Disagree if you only considered four-year colleges or haven’t evaluated alternatives.
5) "I have discussed with my parents how we plan to cover the expense of my college education."
- Agree if you’ve had a concrete conversation about expected contributions, savings, FAFSA, borrowing, and budgeting.
- Disagree if you haven’t had the discussion or it was vague.
If you want, tell me a bit about your situation (are you decided on a school? family paying? scholarships likely? career plans?) and I’ll suggest how you might answer each item.
