Top 5 Posts of the Week at eLearners.com – 09/14/07

Top 5 posts of the week

Hola everyone,

I’m Adrian “the new guy” at eLearners and I’m here to give you “The top 5 posts of the week.”

1. First up is the Financial Aid Answers blog with a great post explaining how Expected Family Contribution (EFC) is calculated. If you’re seeking financial aid and have a family, the EFC from FAFSA? What's That? post is a must read.

 

2. irishmum78 wrapped up the 5 Simple Ways to Save $10 a Day series over at the Affordable Online Education blog. My fave tip is searching for discount codes before buying products online. (Psst...I highly recommend CurrentCodes.com and CouponChief.com).

 

3. Are you considering an MBA? Then you may want to check out the “What opportunities are there for an MBA?” post over at the My Ashford University Experience blog.

 

4. Scott Davis shares his “reality check” experience in his Time To Pay The Fiddler post. In it, he discuses how confronting his fears early-on of repaying lenders helped him to save money in the long run. After reading this I’m no longer cowering whenever I hear “Sallie Mae.”

 

5. Cajun - author of the My Ashford University Experience blog - makes the list again with his Business Law is like drinking from a fire hose post. It’s awesome, if not a little jarring, to hear the sincere thoughts of someone pursuing an online degree in such a heavy field. But just like any other type of investment, all it takes is a little time and discipline until it pays off.

That’s all for this week! Have a great weekend!

Greetings and salutations, I am your friendly neighborhood Content Director here at eLearners.com. (I am also mom to a seemingly tireless 4-year-old girl and owner to a cat that hates me. Oh well - can't win 'em all.)

I have a bachelor's degree in computer science from Rutgers College and am thisclose to completing my master's degree in instructional design from Western Illinois University later this year.

If you want to learn more about online education, read our Guide to Online Education. If you decide you want to go back to school, check out the Debt-Free College Guide to learn ways to pay for your education.

Happy learning!
