I'm contemplating asking Skinner to start a "College Parents" group [View all]

The idea would be to share struggles, thoughts, solutions, etc. on topics such as:

- Scholarships & Financial Aid
- The costs and benefits of early decision, regular decision, and early action
- College visits
- Places to find used texts
- 2 years @ Community college + 2 years @ 4-year school vs. 4 years @ 4-year school
- Grad schools


Any thoughts, criticisms, ideas, suggestions?
