[quote=Anonymous]At the beginning of the college search, there's nothing wrong with telling a student to just try to figure out what they like without worrying too much about costs - maybe this is what OP had in mind when guiding her DD. If BC is out of reach financially, maybe there is another urban Catholic school that would work. A 16 year old should be able to grasp the concept of income, savings and the fact that neither are infinite amounts. I don't see why it would be a sensitive subject and hopefully you haven't raised a child who would expect you to sell your house to pay for her college. Personally, I gave my kids a budget from the beginning, but neither one was going to lean towards the super expensive elite schools anyway. Both would rather save some of their 529 funds for grad school.[/quote]
