| Pomona because it's a great school/fit and because my dad had a lot of life insurance and this is as good a use of that money as anything else |

Sorry, but if you are asking this question you probably should not send your kid to any LAC full pay.
I really don’t think there’s meaningful difference in their academic quality or financial outcomes of graduates in top 25 LACs. It really depends on kids. They are much more similar to each other than different. They are all very good. In order for you to consider full pay, I think you should be comfortable paying it. If not, please send your kids to public university and save money. |

Valid +1 But parents do send their kids to LAC full pay. |

| Would not full pay for any LAC but would for a T30 national university. |

Why would you want to subsidize graduate students? |

| I saved enough for them to go wherever they want, so they can choose any LAC that is a good fit. I also told them that if they chose a less expensive option, they could use the remaining funds for grad school. |
