conversation with parents about higher education
Answers
1. Be honest about what you want to study:-
Many of us have parents who have high hopes and aspirations for us, which is great! Sometimes this can cause conflict because the dreams of our parents aren’t necessarily the same as our dreams. Finding yourself in this situation can be challenging.
It’s important to listen to and respect your parents’ desires for you. But ultimately, listen to your heart’s desire and run after what you’re passionate about. While your dad might want you to pursue pre-med so you can become a doctor one day, you might want to pursue a fashion degree, an IT degree, or a sociology degree.
Your parents might not immediately understand, but it's important for you to be upfront and honest about your passions.
2. Get clarity what goes into financing a college education:-
Another important conversation to have with your parents is about money. It’s important to get clarity sooner rather than later on who will be paying for both your college tuition and your college living expenses. After all, financing a college education is no small feat.
If both you and your parents are paying for college, how will the costs be split? While your parents might be able to pay for your tuition, you might be responsible for paying for your books, materials, food and maybe even shelter.
Once it’s been determined who’s paying for the various components of college life, the next step is deciding how you’re going to pay for everything. Will you be using outside money such as federal aid , bank loans, and scholarships? Will you have to find a part-time, full-time, or work-study job during your college days to offset costs?
Getting clarity on your financial plan for college sooner than later will make the whole transition to school much more peaceful for both you and your parents.
3. Stay flexible about where you live during college:-
While you may be thinking of just commuting to school from home, it can be highly valuable to your “formation” as a young adult to move onto campus and experience what living away from home is like. On the flip-side you may be so desperate to move out and live the college life that you forget to think rationally — it might make sense to stay at home during your first year and save some money. Regardless of which path you choose, it’s important to know that you’re not “stuck.”
It’s likely that you’ll live somewhere new each year of college, so don’t feel like your decision of where to live during your freshman year binds you there for the next four years. This is an especially important decision to discuss with your parents since they might encourage you to think logically and fully consider your options. Know also that whether you choose to live on or off campus, you can — and will — still have a great college experience.
There are a multitude of decisions that go into choosing a college. For most of us, even though we may not want to admit it, our parents are probably the people that know us best. Even if you don’t see eye-to-eye with your parents on everything, engaging in these conversations with them is really important.
