		<description><![CDATA[Even after students get&#160;financial aid for school, they often need to make extra cash. USA Today recently reported on some creative&#160;ways to make&#160;money in college.
First, the source notes that you can do odd jobs for other students. Hang a flier up on campus offering anything from tutoring to house-painting. There is even a new app for smart phones called the Beagle app, which allows students to post jobs or errands they&#039;ll pay other people to do for them.&#160;
The source suggests lending services to students moving in to and out of campus housing at the beginning and end of the school year.&#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Often, gifted prospective students opt for less selective schools despite the&#160;students&#039; potentials to flourish in intense academic environments. Due to their ability to save money for college by entering certain establishments, many of these individuals end up choosing their schools based on economics rather than academics.
A Stanford study intervenes
A recent Inside Higher Ed article describes how&#160;pricier, more competitive schools feel the loss of lower-income students choosing cheaper college alternatives.&#160;
The source cites a 2012 Stanford University study that looked at this problem.&#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Writing an impressive admissions statement is often the key to getting into a chosen school.
After evaluating the degree options for mothers and looking into financial aid for college, returning students start constructing their college applications. Most of this package consists of figures, from high school transcripts to SAT scores. The part of the application that allows prospective students to&#160;come off the page is the personal statement.&#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Many colleges have been turning away more student applicants recently. As this trend continues, one&#160;of the best tips for getting into college may be to look at schools&#160;beside highly-competitive establishments.&#160;
According to the National Association for College Admission Counseling, in 2011, the average acceptance rate at four-year institutions was 65.5 percent. For those applying for a scholarship, this rate may make getting into the ideal school seem like a dim possibility.&#160;
Many applicants dream of slapping an Ivy League sticker on the bumper of their cars, but studies show that the name isn&#039;t everything.&#160;
According to Princeton University&#039;s Alan Krueger, those students rejected by more selective schools, including Ivy Leagues, can go on to make the same amount of money as those who went to such institutions.&#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Careful financial planning for college is&#160;a smart&#160;approach to higher education. Prospective students, with either financial aid or a scholarship for college, will want a degree that will also have financial value in the future.
Technical majors, such as engineering and computer science, have the highest success rates amongst graduates, according to a 2011 Georgetown University study. In light of this trend, career-minded students&#160;may wonder if success is still&#160;possible when studying in the humanities.&#160;
Advantages to a technical degree
Statistics show that those who major in a technical field are more likely to get a high&#160;paying job after college.&#8230;]]></description>
