[quote=Anonymous]This happens often and the main reason is the parents have long been putting up a front of being able to afford everything and keeping up with the Jonesesesses

Bottom line is you can't afford most schools without aid and that is fine, don't be ashamed by it.  Tech is a totally fine school, completely different than BC, BC is very nice full of rich kids who have parents that are probably overextended to make it work for them.

The main reason community colleges are growing in popularity is exactly because of people like you but also many of the people would never imagine sending their precious snowflake to a community college because people will think you are not as well off as you make it seem or that your kid is not smart enough to attend a 4 year school.

What is the goal, debt free after college or approval by your peers?  I pick debt free and my kids and I went to community college first and on to a 4 year school and had no debt upon graduation.

your 529 will grow another 2 years if they attend community college because of the low cost and then you have plenty for the other 2 years and probably some grad school.
