Inactive here. NYT money scribe. Check out my new course about merit aid and how to lower college costs by getting more of it. Find me on Threads, Instagram.

At the stroke of midnight, before I knew that this insanely generous review of "The Price You Pay for College" would drop 8 hours later, I snuck into the New York Times building for a special errand. I'd like to show you. Come along? https://t.co/VD9BCHacTp

@LineyArnorsd Hi, trying to reach you -- lieber @ nytimes dot com thanks

[Ron Lieber @ronlieber]

@scottmitter Somehow this just surfaced on this hellscape of a site that I don't really patronize anymore but THANK YOU!

[Ron Lieber @ronlieber]

Scary stuff, this. Unrelatedly, this is a periodic reminder that I'm almost entirely over on 🧵🧵🧵 now. Same handle. Miss you all! Come over and play, higher ed and money twiXXer.

This administration is both importing voters and creating a national security threat from unvetted illegal immigrants.

It is highly probable that the groundwork is being laid for something far worse than 9/11. Just a matter of time.

@amy_bresnen Hi, could you please drop me a note? I'm having trouble finding contact info for you via a quick Google search. Thanks... lieber @ nytimes dot com.

[Ron Lieber @ronlieber]

@melissakorn @erichoov @JonBoeckenstedt etc the higher ed content is a bit thin over there. None of us are as strong as all of us.

[Ron Lieber @ronlieber]

Thanks to all of you who have commented on my FAFSA and banking stories in recent weeks. This is a semi-regular reminder that I'm over on that site now that is kind of like Strings except not. Same username.

@AndyBorstUGA I see so much -- SO MUCH -- of this AI being defined down nonsense in press releases. Sometimes I write back for fun and just say "Define AI." Crickets.

[Ron Lieber @ronlieber]

@Pfagell @jesslahey Mostly gone too, just waiting for my favs to depart as well. Threads/Insta for me, same handle.

[Ron Lieber @ronlieber]

@HeidiStevens13 Go get it!

[Julie Lythcott-Haims @jlythcotthaims]

Did you know that huge discounts are available at most colleges, even very selective ones, even for kids who don't qualify for financial aid? But the schools don't explain them. So my friend @ronlieber created a guide to the whole system. Learn more: https://t.co/EZ3ve4nFli

[Ron Lieber @ronlieber]

@jlythcotthaims Thank you Julie!

[Ron Lieber @ronlieber]

@melissakorn I thought hard about drinking out of your glass or asking for the other half of that pambazo, but I didn't. That probably won't protect me from whoever gave it to you though! Hang in there.

[Ron Lieber @ronlieber]

@williamfaust @WhitneyGouche @DeanSoule_UPenn @jselingo @JonBoeckenstedt @NACAC Honored to be a part of it, thank you!

[Ron Lieber @ronlieber]

This was a blast, and thanks to those of you who cheered when I asked for guaranteed upfront college pricing in year one. #NACAC23 #NACAC https://t.co/D5mCydqWCp

[William Faust @williamfaust]

This session at #NACAC2023 with @WhitneyGouche @DeanSoule_UPenn @jselingo and @ronlieber could have gone on two more hours. Loved the candor and even a cameo by @JonBoeckenstedt More like this next year @NACAC

[Ron Lieber @ronlieber]

Your regular reminder that @akilbello was a legacy admit to the highly rejective BetterThanU... #NACAC #NACAC23

[Ron Lieber @ronlieber]

@Clark2College @BarnardBrennan @nytimes Likewise!

[Ron Lieber @ronlieber]

This is going to be so much fun, and I expect to learn a lot myself. Thanks @jselingo for putting it together.

[Jeff Selingo @jselingo]

At #NACAC23, join us for discussion w/@ronlieber @DeanSoule_UPenn @WhitneyGouche about transparency in admissions. Is more information always better? What data do applicants want colleges to disclose during the admissions process? What are the reasons colleges won't? @NACAC

[Ron Lieber @ronlieber]

Good morning NACAC! I'm here in booth 921 to introduce my new course about merit aid. Please stop by for free books, Baltimore's best cookie and some windshield stickers that might get me in trouble. #NACAC2023 #NACAC #NACAC23 https://t.co/jXMIpyXMbr
