Host: How can I afford to attend a private school which costs more than a public one?

Brad Barnett: I think one of the biggest misconceptions out there is, I can t afford to go to a private school because it costs too much. People get in what s called sticker shock mood.

Speak with the financial aid office, see if they can put together a package that will make affordable for you.
