How college is not just an education its an experience that is costly, is it worth going to school to be in student debt, or only worth it to build connections? When going to college, financial situations and family relationships shape this mindset of going to college and how that can affect an experience at college.

When taking the social situations of college, do students who are drinking at college know what they are going into and know how much they can intake. With this scholarly article, details about college drinking, and what social relations can be built from statistics are shown through this article. This can be useful in finding social aspects of college life and if it is worth it for the individual for finding similar college students through drinking.

Now with income and finical aid, this scholarly article can be helpful when talking about income and counseling with the student and finding financial aid. I can use this article to help back up my points about the expense of college and the sue of financial aid. Is it worth being in student debt for a college education and connection building?

Here i can use the relationship building and connection driving for success in college to show my points on how college is just not only an education, going to school and making connections is important for future success out of college. Which is an unfortunate way of putting college, where its said that education matters but there are some points where connections and relationships stand out more than the education and degree aspect.
