How to calculate the true cost of college
Thursday was 'Decision Day' for many colleges and universities, when bright-eyed high school seniors finalize where they plan to spend their next four years. But fewer students are hitting campuses than before: College enrollment has dropped by 15 percent since 2010, and 40 percent of American adults now believe that a four-year college degree is 'not too or not at all important' to secure a well-paying job in today's economy. On the latest episode of 'Impromptu,' columnists Drew Goins, Molly Roberts and Heather Long discuss if college is still worth the sticker price, and if not, what better alternatives are out there.

Are you there, God? I'm lonely
Are you there, God? I'm lonely Americans have been turning away from organized religion for decades — but recent research suggests that trend might be stalling out. And studies do show that people affiliated with a religion tend to be happier and healthier. So should more people be joining up? And are there ways to make some of the most ancient religions a little more modern, or at least more open to progressive ideas? If not, where else can people find community and a sense of belonging? Drew Goins, Molly Roberts and Shadi Hamid discuss the usefulness, or not, of religion.
