These institutions include regular 4-year colleges and universities, independent professional schools specializing in law, medicine, dentistry, theology, engineering, etc., 2-year junior colleges, colleges for training teachers, and colleges especially for Negro youth. Many inquiries are sent to the Bureau of Education from prospective students who wish to know of the possibilities of self-help in this or that institution. Such information from an unbiased and authoritative source is clearly necessary to enable young men and women and their parents to decide intelligently the momentus question of college attendance. This bulletin contains advice on the transition from high school to college, the financial cost of university, how to obtain student loans, different job prospects for students, as well as how to earn one's way through school. Also included is a directory by States for institutions of higher learning. (Contains 3 footnotes and 5 tables.) [Best copy available has been provided.]
