May 1 is Decision Day, when most high school seniors have to make their final decisions on where to go to college. That’s when many of them may face their biggest challenge: how to pay for it.

It now takes a small, or perhaps not-so-small, fortune to go to college.

Presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren made headlines recently with an ambitious proposal to cancel most student loan debt and make college free or nearly free for some institutions.

Kevin Hyde, Interim President, FSCJ; and Michele Larson, Certified College Advisor and the Director of Knowledge4College, joined us for a closer look.
