The road to the American Dream runs through a college campus for most of us. But the high price of higher education is making that dream tougher by the day.

Christie and Dayna are two ordinary people shouldering the burden of college expenses. One needs to pay off loans while the other needs to save for her kids. Carmen's got plans for both.
