Comfort- and space-saving style without the cost As any parent knows, the cost of college continues to rise. According to CollegeBoard.com, the average costs at a fouryear, private university for the 2009-10 school year exceeded $26,000.

That figure is daunting on its own, but when combined with the nation's struggling economy the sticker price is even more shocking. While parents are fully aware of the costs associated with college, they might not be aware of the many ways in which they can cut college costs.

■ Shop for multi-functional items.

While today's college kids might not know what a compact disc is, that doesn't mean they don't need a place to store all those DVDs and video games. When shopping for storage items, consider multi-functional items that serve more than one purpose.

For instance, StudentMarket.com features more than 1,900 TV stands, many of which boast ample storage space ideal for college students living in a crowded dorm room.

■ Go vertical. While dorm rooms might not provide the most square footage, the ceiling heights are often average size.

That makes dorm rooms ideal for going vertical. Based on consumer demand, StudentMarket.com offers a wide array of items allowing students and parents to do just that, including hundreds of bookcases in varying styles, and name brand dressers that stretch vertically instead of horizontally, enabling students to save space and money.

■ Hook it up. Hooks are another good friend of those who call dorms home.

Instead of using up valuable dresser and closet space to hang coats, hangers and even bath towels, hooks hung up on the back of the dorm room door or inside the closet door make use of existing space many college students don’t routinely use.

■ Think small. Furnishing a dorm room is not the same as furnishing a first apartment. When shopping for dorm rooms, think small. StudentMarket.com boasts hundreds of nightstands and innovative furniture products ideal for making over the cramped style of the average dorm room.

Many members of the high school graduating class of 2010 will return to school this fall, but they’ll be working and studying in unfamiliar surroundings with people they have never met. They will be in college, and in many cases, they’ll leave families, friends and hometowns behind to live in a dorm.

Some of these students have never left home before, and may have to cope with problems ranging from homesickness, loneliness and stress to the aggravation of roommates who talk too much or party too often.

“It kind of depends on the student, but the first six weeks are most important,” Bill Pickett, the director of university housing at the University of Nebraska at Omaha, said.

He and Kim Henry, the dean of student life at Iowa Western Community College, said that’s the time frame in which most students will connect to their campus life or will transfer out or drop out.

“We’ve had students from Ireland and from South Africa,” Henry said. For them, homesickness takes on a whole new meaning: They can’t just go home for a weekend.

Henry said adjusting becomes easier if the new students get involved. She recommended saying “hello,” talking to people and getting involved in residence hall activities as a starting point.

“We have resident assistants, and we hold programs and student activities to help students get involved,” Henry said.

The same holds true at UNO’s University Village, Scott Village and Maverick Village, Pickett said. Students are given constant opportunities the first few weeks to meet other students and get comfortable with the college experience.

“We provide the resources to get engaged.

We have social programs. We have floor meetings. Every night for the first week we have programs,” Pickett said. These programs could be outdoor movies, basketball tournaments, or discussions.

Henry said new students who feel lonely, homesick or stressed will often discover that getting involved in campus life, showing up at campus events and activities or talking to someone in a student organization will help them to connect.

“We’ll have movie nights and programs to get them out of their rooms, but some people don’t want to get involved,” Henry said. While the resident assistants often will “knock on doors and try to encourage them to join in, we won’t badger them.”

Pickett said UNO will use similar tactics to draw out shy students without pestering them.

“We try to find ways to engage them without forcing ourselves on them,” Pickett said.

Part of the period of adjustment for the new college student may involve dealing with a roommate. For some of these students, this is a new experience, Pickett said.

“We have roommate agreements that will outline things like who empties the trash.

Our staff mediates disagreements and we have judicial processes,” Pickett said. If the roommate goes too far and violates campus rules, “we could move them out.”

At IWCC, Henry said, most roommate disputes involve differing schedules or levels of cleanliness.

“Whether the roommate is messy or tidy is one of the big problems. We try to mediate, but a lot of times they work things out. If they can’t, we make a room switch,” Henry said.

However, “There are fewer problems than you’d think. Learning to live with others is important. If you’re messy, you’re not thrown out,” she said, adding that for extreme cases, “Maybe a single room is in order.”

Across the country, recent high school graduates are transitioning to freshman at colleges and universities. There will be many decisions facing the nation’s next crop of college students, from where to live to what courses to take to whether to join an academic club or fraternity/sorority.

Perhaps the most vital decisions current and future college kids must make are financial ones. For most students, college is the first time they’ll be managing their own money. While money management is most often a trial and error process for college students, there are tricks to money management that today’s teenagers and young adults can use to their advantage: ■ Don’t be late. Being late for class isn’t a good way for students to ingratiate themselves with their professors. But being late with bills can be an even worse idea. In addition to the negative impact paying bills late can have on a young person’s credit rating, late fees can pile up quickly. The average late fee for credit cards is $28, which is in addition to the balance remaining on the card itself. That’s $28 the average college student can save simply by paying on time. Another way to avoid late fees is to save before splurging.

That means, save up the cash to pay for your purchase and skip the credit card entirely.

■ Rent, don’t buy. While renting and not buying is a philosophy typically associated with student housing, it’s now applicable to textbooks as well. At the onset of each school year, students across the country face steep bills for textbooks, many of which they’ll use for a semester or quarter and never open again. And textbooks aren’t a student’s only expense.

N E B R A S K A

W E S L E YA N

Fortunately, today’s students have the option to rent their textbooks. With more than 2.4 million titles, Chegg.com is the world's largest online textbook rental service, boasting discounts between 65 and 85 percent off the list price. In the last two years alone, Chegg.com has saved students and their parents more than $41 million at 6,000 colleges and universities across the country. Rentals are available by the semester (125 days), quarter (85 days) and summer (60 days), and students can even ask for rental extensions or purchase the books at any time.

To learn more about saving on textbooks or to order books today, go online to www.Chegg.com.

■ Watch ATM cash drain. Some ATMs charge in upwards of $3.50 for cash withdrawals, particularly ones that are “convenient” or close to campus. A student can quickly deplete their savings with a few bucks withdrawn here and there.

Instead, consider opening up an account at a local bank that offers good perks (not just fluff incentives luring college students) and no-fee ATM withdrawals. A school also may be affiliated with a credit union that offers special plans to students, including good interest rates and discounts on other financial items such as auto insurance.

■ Start saving for the big trips.

Planning a big vacation before the first exam? If so, start thinking about saving for those trips now, because Spring Break will be here soon. As these trips can get very expensive, putting extra money away each month will go a long way to making that dream trip a reality.

Powerful learning tool or annoying distraction?

OMAHA – Professor Adam Tyma posed a philosophical question to his introduction to mass communication class, using a teaching technique that’s been around since Plato.

He herded his 70 students at the University of Nebraska at Omaha into small groups, just as professors have done for generations. But here’s the 21st century angle: They clustered into threes and fours around laptop computers to animatedly discuss the question “Why is advertising important?”

Then they posted their answers to a Twitter page projected onto two giant screens on the classroom’s front wall.

Tyma is trying to harness the power of the laptop computer, a tool that today’s college students tote around campus the way their parents carried backpacks.

“They are always bringing them (to class) anyway,” Tyma said. “Why not use ‘em to our advantage?”

He’s doing so even as more and more area professors ban laptops in the classroom and scold students using iPhones, convinced that students spend more time checking Facebook than taking notes.

Laptops “are not as useful to them as everybody thought they would be,” said John Janovy, a veteran biology professor at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln who has written several books on teaching and college life. “I’ll tell you right now that if you are up there trying to teach photosynthesis, there’s no way you can compete with e-mails from their friends.”

Professors pinpoint the explosion of wireless Internet access on campuses as the source of their growing frustration. Laptops are now banned in some classrooms at George Washington University in the East, the University of California at Berkeley in the West

More professors see laptops in classrooms, lecture halls

WHNS

Above, Satid Kippenberger is one of many students using laptops during Adam Tyma’s Introduction to Mass Communication class March 27 at the University of Nebraska at Omaha. Tyma encourages students to bring laptops and participate in classroom discussions by typing their opinions – statements that are then shown on the twitter feed shown on the classroom’s gigantic projector. Top right, Derek Noel sends text messages while having his laptop open during Tyma’s class. and various points in between, according to press accounts.

A University of Oklahoma physics professor recently doused a laptop in liquid nitrogen and slammed it to the floor, shattering the computer and drawing gasps.

“Don’t bring laptops and work on them in class! Have I made my point clear? Thank you!” professor Kieran Mullen yelled.

In a painfully ironic (and possibly staged) twist, a student taped the demonstration and posted the video on

YouTube. It has received more than a million views.

At UNL, Janovy said he has banned laptops since the first time he saw one in his classroom. He sometimes sits in on other UNL lecture classes and watches as students update their Facebook status, check email and generally do anything to avoid listening to the lecture.

At UNO, Phani Tej Adidam, chairman of the marketing and management department, said he would probably force students to put away their laptops

during classroom discussions next semester.

Adidam has found himself increasingly making sarcastic remarks to students using laptops: “Hey, what’s the score?” to someone checking ESPN.com, for example. He also increasingly e-mails students after class to warn them that a second laptop or BlackBerry offense will get them kicked out of his course.

“In general, I feel like I’ve been more lenient than I should have been,” he said. “I expect a certain level of deco-

rum in a learning environment ... in short, I expect them to offer their undivided attention.”

Other professors and students argue that students should be mature enough to use technology to their advantage, or suffer the consequences if they don’t.

Nearly every Creighton University pharmacy student brings a university-issued laptop to class, said Lesleigh Ailts, a second-year student from Yankton, S.D., and nearly all use them constructively, she said. Students use their computers in class to view PowerPoint presentations.

Ailts often makes notes on the PowerPoint itself using a writing tool that came with the laptop. And the laptop’s keyboard allows her to take more complete notes than if she had to do it the old-fashioned way.

“Sometimes now I pick up a pencil and wonder if I’m going to know how to use it,” she joked. “I’m on (the laptop) the whole day except when I’m sleeping or eating. It has everything on it I need for class. Why wouldn’t I use it in class?”

A recent visit to Tyma’s intro to mass communication class showed the benefits and the drawbacks of laptops in the classroom. Twenty-three of the 71 students attending class had brought laptops.

Several proceeded to use the classroom’s wireless Internet in ways that Plato wouldn’t like. One played virtual billiards. Another spent nearly an hour on Facebook, writing status updates and responding to messages from friends. But at least three students opened a Microsoft Word document and studiously took notes, without connecting to the Internet.

Others participated in the classroom discussion online, without ever raising their hands or speaking publicly.

Tyma used those responses, which popped up on the classroom’s giant screens, to spark a wide-ranging class discussion that touched on the use of nostalgia in advertising, political slogans and what the class decided was Nebraska’s No. 1 brand Husker football.

Tyma said his embrace of the laptop is an experiment, one that he will end if his students’ grades are markedly lower than in previous semesters. But the early signs are encouraging, he said.

Some students who would never dream of speaking up in a large lecture class are engaged in online discussions about the class material. Those discussions are forging a sense of community that is often missing in large lecture halls, Tyma said. Students are challenging each other’s opinions, inviting one another to charity benefits and talking politics, journalism and music all without speaking a word.

“We talk technology in here and we talk media,” Tyma said.

“We won’t truly understand those things until we’re kneedeep in them. ... And it works. I think it works.”

The advantages of attending community college DENNIS FRIEND Staff Writer dennis.friend@nonpareilonline.com (712) 325-5746

The cost of a college education has continued to climb. A recent study by the U.S. Department of Education showed the median loan debt for a student getting a four-year degree at $20,000, but 6 percent have borrowed $40,000 to earn that degree.

That’s why a cost-saving alternative has become popular: More students are attending two-year colleges like Iowa Western Community College and then finishing up at four-year schools.

“Students are more responsible for funding their own education today. A student can get a degree at Iowa Western and start as a junior at a four-year school,” IWCC director of advising Keri Zimmer said.

The cost savings are considerable, Zimmer said.

An Iowa resident pays $119 a credit hour to attend IWCC, while a non-resident pays $124.

Compare that to University of Nebraska at Omaha rates as of November: $170.50 per credit hour for Nebraska residents and $502.50 per credit hour for non-residents. While UNO’s new Metropolitan Advantage Program sets a rate of $255.75 a credit hour for Pottawattamie, Harrison and Mills county residents and is meant to be competitive with Iowa State University, the University of Northern Iowa and the University of Iowa, a $150 difference in the cost of a three-hour course can add up.

“Sixty-three percent of our students do transfer to a four-year college for a bachelor degree. Student courses will transfer because we’re accredited, and most courses will transfer to most universities,” Zimmer said, and IWCC has articulation agreements with a number of schools. The idea is to make it easier for two-year students to move on to four-year degrees.

For example, the Admissions Partnership Program with the University of Northern Iowa allows IWCC students who want to pursue a bachelor’s degree in a program offered at UNI to begin their studies at Iowa Western Community College. The students in the pro-

According to the agreement, if a student follows the transfer plan, he or she could complete the bachelor’s degree at UNI within two years of full-time study after earning a two-year degree from IWCC. IWCC has a similar agreement with Buena Vista University for BVU’s bachelor of applied studies degree. Zimmer said four-year colleges seem to have caught on and are now paying attention to the twoyear college students.

“Four-year schools are really interested in twoyear students now, and many of our students will earn transfer scholarships based on need, on leadership, athletic or academic abilities. Eighty percent of our students are on some kind of financial aid, grants or loans. They have a wise approach to saving money and it follows them into the four-year schools. And, if you can earn your degree from IWCC, you can put it on a resume, and then get a four-year degree,” Zimmer said.

Calling all parents: Talk to teens before they head off to college Parents are the number one influence when it comes to teens and alcohol.

That's especially important when considering alcohol is the foremost youth drug problem in America.

Fortunately, parents can reduce a young person’s risk of drinking. MADD notes that 74 percent of teens turn to their parents for guidance on drinking, highlighting the influence informed and prepared parents can have on teens when it comes to alcohol.

To help parents, MADD recently launched “The Power of Parents: It’s Your Influence.” Sponsored by Nationwide Insurance, the program (www.thepowerofparents.org) gives parents of high school students real world communucation tips they can use at home to stop teen alcohol use: ■ Communicate before a problem starts ■ Discuss rules and consequences ■ Show you care ■ Pay attention ■ Share family activities ■ Give and get respect ■ Enforce consequences consistently The program consisits of two parts, emphasizing both education and prevention: 1. A Web-based clearinghouse of the best available research on how to reduce risk written for parents, not scientists.

The Web site includes everything from conversation tools to an “ask the expert” section, wherein parents can learn how to effectively answer tough questions about their own underage alcohol experiences and how to manage their alcohol consumption in front of their teens.

2. A community-based program where parents can come together to discuss

Underage drinking by the numbers $61.9 billion: Total cost to Americans of harm from underage drinking 119,500: annual ER visits due to underage drinking 53: Percentage of underage drinkers who said their last drink was at someone else’s home 37: Percentage of 10th graders who have been intoxicated 48: percentage of all alcohol consumed by college students that is consumed by underage drinkers 90,000: annual sexual assaults among college students who have been drinking proven strategy for the initial conversation to have with teens about alcohol as well as developing ongoing conversations to esnure teens stay on the right track.

In addition to thepowerofparents.org, MADD has also worked with Dr. Robert Turrisi of Pennsylvania State University to provide a handbook to parents about how to have the conversations about alcohol. Shown to reduce drinking significantly among college students, Dr. Turisi has adapted it for use among parents of high school students.

Higher supervision and monitoring by parents consistently leads to lower levels of drinking.

COLLEGE BOUND New loan changes to help students, community colleges The Daily Nonpareil

WASHINGTON (AP) – Bigger grants for college students who need them.

Relaxed payment terms for students with loans. More money for community colleges and historically black institutions.

The law that President Barack Obama signed Tuesday could mean big changes for hard-pressed students and colleges as the government becomes the primary issuer of student loans. But just whom will that affect and how?

Q: What does the overhaul of student lending do?

A: Basically, it cuts banks out of the governmentbacked student loan business. Money for the loans has come either directly from the government or through private financial institutions, which have collected billions of dollars in federal subsidies to protect against default.

Under the changes, banks will no longer act as middlemen, and all colleges and universities must switch to the direct lending program

by July 1. Many already have made the switch in anticipation of the new law.

Private lenders can still make student loans that are not backed by the government, and they will continue to have contracts to service some federal loans. But the new law represents a significant change in what has been a multibillion-dollar business for the banking industry.

Q: How much money will the government save?

A: Taxpayers will save $68 billion over the next 11 years, according to the Congressional Budget Office.

Q: What will Obama do with the money? How will this affect students and their parents?

A: A chunk of the savings will go toward Pell Grants for college students – to award more grants and to provide larger amounts.

Community colleges and institutions with predominantly minority populations also will receive funding.

2GNN ITCPVU VTCKN TKUKPI EQUV QH VWKVKQP During the 2009-2010 school year, the maximum Pell Grant award did not cover tuition and fees at a public or private four-year college.

The maximum award will only increase to $5,900 in 2019-2020.

Average annual tuition and fees, in current dollars $30,000

Four-year (private) $26,273 25,000 20,000

SOURCE: The College Board

Q: Will the changes bring down college costs?

A: Sorry, no. Obama acknowledged as much before signing the bill when he urged colleges and universities to “do their part� to hold down costs.

Q: OK, what exactly is happening to Pell Grants?

A: More than $40 billion will go toward the grants, which are targeted toward students from lowand moderate-income families. Between 2013 and 2017, the maximum award will increase to $5,975 from $5,550. The administration also expects more than 820,000 additional awards to be made by the 2020-2021 academic year because of the changes.

Some of the money will address shortfalls in the Pell Grant program that developed because students were qualifying for more and larger grants. More than 6 million students received such grants in the 2008-09 academic year, an increase of about 50 percent from a decade earlier, according to the College Board.

Q: How else will students benefit?

A: Students who have low incomes or meet certain other eligibility requirements and who take out loans after July 1, 2014, will see their payments limited to 10 percent of their discretionary income after graduation.

Current law caps payments at 15 percent of income.

09 AP

For students who make their loan payments on time, the government will forgive the balance after 20 years, instead of 25. Public service workers – teachers, nurses, police officers and those in the military – will see any remaining debt forgiven after just 10 years of repayment.

Q: What’s in the new law for community colleges?

Community colleges, which enroll more than 6 million students and are growing fast, will receive $2 billion over the next four years for a competitive grant program to provide training and education programs. The grant program was created in the economic stimulus bill enacted last year, but never funded.

Q: What about funding for institutions that serve mostly minority student bodies?

These colleges and universities will share $2.55 billion in additional funding over the next decade.

Q: Does anybody lose as a result of the changes?

A: Banks and other financial institutions. Sallie Mae, the biggest student lender, has about 8,500 employees in the student loan program and has said close to onethird of them may lose their jobs as a result of the overhaul. Sallie Mae still will have contracts to service federal loans.

Julie Harris, first-year student at Iowa Lakes

I am a native of Battle Creek, Mich., (population 150,000) and had lived there for 30 years. Due to the economic downturn I knew it was time to move.

So, I ventured off to a little town in Iowa where the population is only about 4,000 people. One could only imagine the culture shock I had when arriving in Emmetsburg.

The core of this little town seemed so familiar to me because of my upbringing and that made the transition easy to feel ‘at home.’ While getting acclimated with my surroundings I talked with people about Iowa Lakes Community College and the reviews were outstanding! I was working on my associate degree back home and knew I wanted to finish.

It wasn’t too long ago that I discovered what excited me Marketing! Finally, I knew what I wanted.

I decided to visit the campus and gather information on what this college had to offer. I knew my goal was to receive my Associate degree and transfer to a University to major in Marketing and minor in Accounting. So, I got started in May of 2009.

This is one of my biggest challenges in life.

Paying for college is not going to be easy. I always think about what education can do for me and my family, and this gives me the driving force I need to succeed.

I feel this is the right decision. The one thing no one can ever take from us is our knowledge.

So in the end, sometimes life presents itself with only one choice at a time. The choice I have right now is to educate myself; so in turn, I can help others with their success.

And my choice for success is Iowa Lakes!
