dc.description.abstract	Improving the college search process by making college costs more transparent to potential students and their families is a primary focus of recent higher education policy efforts. This analysis, drawing on data from two sources that link student survey responses to administrative records on cost and borrowing, suggests that a significant share of undergraduate students do not understand how much they are paying for college or how much debt they are taking on.	en
