The following question is from Jeri.
“CollegePlus came and did a talk in our area. I’ve talked with one of their students via their phone lines, reviewed their website, but has anyone actually used it? Is it worth it? Does it really shave off cost from college?
I’m interested in reviews from people that aren’t getting paid to make it sound so perfect. And to find out how much it really did cost in the end, because a $1900 down payment and $195/mo for as long as you’re in the program could go on forever! And, you still have the cost of their “books” and testing and whatever else might be needed. Anyone???”
