Zac Bissonnette: Graduate from college debt free

So how exactly do you graduate from college debt-free?

By taking a hard squint at your family’s budget and picking a school with a tuition that won’t burst the purse strings. Intuitive, rewarding in the long run, and impossible to fathom in an age when parents buy Mozart records in hopes of raising the new Harvard baby.

Betty Jin is currently a junior at Dartmouth College. Originally hailing from the high rises of Shanghai, she grew up mainly in the 'burbs of Boston before trekking about 110 miles north to attend the College on the Hill. Majoring in English with a soft spot for Woolf and Wharton, she would like to at some point in her career pursue journalism and new media ventures. In the meantime, she enjoys drinking dark coffee with one shot of expresso, watching period dramas and listening to director reels, and going on crack of dawn jogs. She hopes to someday bike the Silk Road, touch the snows of Kilimanjaro before they melt, and write about it all in a collection of travel essays.
