What Advice Do You Have for the College-Bound Senior Class?

With one of the best-rated school districts in the state, it's no wonder families are keen on moving to the village. After years of school work, after-school jobs, tutors and more, the RHS Class of 2011 is moving on. The overwhelming majority are going to college, a list that includes some of the finest schools in the country.

But it also marks a time of high unemployment and a sizable number of students moving back home after their college time is up (not to mention the cost is shooting upward for colleges).

What advice would you be giving to the Class of 2011 in an uncertain economy? And how are you coping with the rising costs of college?
