Meet the Paully Pockets

We are the Paully Pockets (from left to right):

Paul LaQuatra (our inspiration), Marley Howell, Christina Strati, and Julianna Strati

Marley Howell

Mt. Lebanon High School class of 2018, Duquesne University class of 2022, Site Editor.

After undergoing the college application process and recognizing the fallacy of the cost-value association, Marley became interested in the clearly rising cost of college. Recognizing the costs go beyond the price tag on the Net Price Calculators colleges provide, she was interested to look into the debt epidemic in the money she would have to spend to get a degree in International Relations as she planned. She hopes that by providing the information she and her fellow creators compiled will allow other students to educate themselves on their education.

Christina Strati

Mt. Lebanon High School class of 2018, The Ohio State University class of 2022, Site Editor.

As someone who recently went through the college admissions process, Christina was interested in exploring the direct and indirect costs of college. Through the creation of this site, she is hoping to raise awareness about the rising expenses and spark change in the corrupt system.

Julianna Strati

Mt. Lebanon High School class of 2018, Pennsylvania State University class of 2022, Site Editor.

After hearing her dad ask every college tour guide imaginable why the cost to attend college is so pricey, she decided to explore this question herself. Since she will be financing her college education (with the help of her parents, of course), Julianna wanted to research how much money the entire process would cost her and her family. She hopes to provide financial awareness and valuable information to students and parents who will be going through the many steps of obtaining a degree.
