What is the first thing that comes to mind when a student mentions cost first?
I have noticed most of the time in admissions, especially, with adult learners or transfer learners, that price is the first thing that is looked at when looking into finishing or starting their degree. One approach that I have taken being an adult learner myself, is to ask open-ended questions to find out the "Why" - why are they looking, why now, etc. That gives you a chance to understand what motivates them and then have an open dialect to why our university may align with both their needs and wants - I can explain how it can get them to their goals. Thoughts?
