Higher education is crucial for economic mobility and workforce skills development, but financial costs are often opaque to students. It is recommended to improve cost and return transparency. Data should be shared among federal agencies, additional staff should be hired to analyze student outcomes, cost variations for degrees should be considered, and institutional responsibility should be focused on to ensure that deficient programs do not receive federal loans. The importance of equipping student advisors to support them in their educational journey is highlighted.
