[quote=Anonymous]She apparently liked the experience at Cornell well enough to stay there for 4 years and graduate.  To second guess that decision now at such a late date and after she has already benefited from her education at Cornell.....what is the purpose of that?

University of Florida didn't check all the boxes for her for some reason.  If UF had been meant to be she would have jumped at the free ride she was offered but she didn't do that.  Her parents also saw an opportunity for their daughter at Cornell that they didn't see at UF.  So they did what they had to do to get her into Cornell.

The odd thing is she ONLY applied to those two schools because the application process is so expensive (still less than $100 per school).  Yet, she and her parents willingly chose to mortgage their house and take on thousands of dollars student loan debt....to send her to Cornell.  They thought that it was worth doing.

I hope that she realizes that there are parents out there taking out HELOCs and other debt in order to send their kids to UF.
