Big state schools.

Any college that I didn't attend, my spouse didn't attend, or my children didn't attend.

Broke middle class does fine. For those broke middle class kids who get into an Ivy, FA such that it makes no sense to go elsewhere. (Cornell is a possible exception to this rule.) From experience, Ivy FA is significantly better than some of the 10-20 schools.

incorrect. The cut-off for guaranteed loans is so low that Mose families reading here will not get any aid. We’re MC and d Ed oerstely needed assistance due to other extraneous costs but HYP ( actually every school) gave us zero. Fill out the FAFSA first to fine out where you really stabs. And don’t believe the bull about [/b]65 percent getting aid. First if all there is no “average “ student. Most pay full fright OR are on significant Sid. When you add that up and divide I. Hal’s you get a weird statistic that college administrators use to be able to say @ rmthe average student gets $$ per year. The other truck colleges use is to say 80 percent of our students get aid but included in that number us the routine [b]!5500 loan which everyone gets if their files the FAFSA[b]. So the marketing figures do not reflect reality. Finally, even if FAFSA indicates your income is less than $100K a year and you are entitled to significant aid, that amount subtracted from the 80k still comes up with a number that cannot be beat by in-state tuition. That happened to us -even with $26K merit scholarship, instate was still less prestigious and less expensive.

Some ivys don’t have loans as a matter of policy. Not sure which ivy PP is referring to. I am a sample size of 1; however, I can’t complain about ivy FA. Mines been more than generous even with upper middle income.

Also people who blow dough on leased cars, houses they can’t afford, Starbucks, vacations to brag ... then don’t have dough for the college their kid wants to go to. So anything they can’t afford is totally overrated. Womp womp.

For state schools, it depends on whether you are paying out-of-state tuition. Almost no state school is worth paying full out-of-state tuition for undergrad.

XYZ State University is usually a good deal if you are in-state, depending on the state.

Miami (FL): Not a bad school, but not worth paying anywhere near full price. Most students from the northeast who didn’t get into an elite school, but are too proud to go to a SUNY.

At least in Miami, there is a decent chance that you’ll be able to find a sugar daddy Latin American “businessman” to subsidize your lifestyle and take you out in the Biscayne Bay on his yacht.

Go away. No one appointed you college counselor/financial advisor of the decade. Different things work best for different kids.

Oh honey. Is knowing how to spell also one of "lives greatest joys"? Clearly your parents spared no expense on your education.

Disagree. Berkeley, UCLA, Michigan, UNC and UT are worth it. We’re paying OOS for one of these and it’s totally worth it.

Couldn't agree more. Also, my child's school is on par with HYPS. In fact, it's better since HYPS students are a bunch of losers.
