While a good price is essential, value is paramount
In his best-selling book The Price You Pay for College, New York Times columnist Ron Lieber writes about value factors that are “worth paying for” in a college. Examples include great teaching and mentoring, small classes, stand-out career centers, solid grad school placement, and a commitment to a diverse campus community. He dedicates an entire chapter to one school that best represents these value aspects — Wooster! Lieber commends Wooster’s processes that help families make a decision on price while showing that the things that make Wooster special, like the College’s signature Independent Study program. He also highlights Wooster’s transparent merit aid (that is test-blind) and an admissions process that focuses on each student’s strengths.
