A Conversation About College Costs at Rowan

At Rowan’s Harvest Festival, Ryan spoke with Nico, a student from Pemberton, about scholarships, college costs, and the long-term effects of student loans.

While visiting Rowan’s Harvest Festival, I had the opportunity to talk with Nico, a Rowan student from Pemberton in Burlington County, part of New Jersey’s 3rd Congressional District.

We talked about scholarships, the rising cost of college, and how student loans can affect families for years. I appreciated hearing his perspective and having a chance to listen.

This conversation is shared to highlight a student's perspective; it should not be interpreted as an endorsement of the campaign.
