Back to School.. and time to get serious about College!

I'm Dr. Robert Alexander, the Vice President for Enrollment and Communication at Millsaps College in Jackson, MS.

I've been working in higher education since 1999, and helped thousands of families understand the process and find a great match for their college experience and post-graduation goals.

I've created this blog to offer insider advice for parents helping their kids navigate the college admission and financial aid process. 

You can expect to read advice about topics including:

  • How does the financial aid process really work?
  • Who decides if an applicant is admitted, and how?
  • Why does college cost so much?
  • Is college really worth the investment?
  • Tips for planning a great college visit
  • How to get a job after graduation
  • Are student loans a good idea?
  • Assessing campus safety and security
  • How to help your student find a college that fits them
