Net Price Calculator. Showcase it!
In her blog post, “Good Luck Finding a Net Price Calculator,” Lynn O’Shaughnessy who writes The College Solution for U.S. News, opinioned that schools are making it hard to find their net price calculators on their websites.
To prove her point, she randomly selected six schools and then pretended to be a prospective student’s parent searching for the school site’s net price calculator. She found it very hard to find the calculators and concluded:
“If people don’t know that these net price calculators exist, they can’t use them. I suspect that this is what some colleges and universities in this country are banking on.”
