[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oberlin:

$76k a year, including R and B

Paid as follows:

$24k merit
$4k  OSCA (does co-op dining, rather than standard meal plan.  Works in the co-op about 6 hours a week, saves $2k a semester)
$25k out of 529 (we saved $110k by May Senior year, cushion because costs will increase each year) 
$15k out of income ($1200 a month, which is what we saved during HS)
$8K from my kid (he had $80,000 gifted to him for education between both sets of grandparents and my grandparents)

This year, OSCA isn’t happening because of COVID, so my kid’s portion is $12k.

We are very lucky that we have the only grandkids on both sides, and both sets of grandparents opened a 529 or education IRA when they were born and contributed some each year.  Otherwise, my kid would take out a $5500 Stanford and we would make up the difference.

Kid is responsible for books and spending money from summer job.

Realized WM is now $42k w/ R&B and once merit and OSCA are factored in Oberlin is $48k w/ R&B.
