[quote=Anonymous] We are in a weird situation with a lower middle class income but significant family assets in our name - no hope of financial aid, and we’ll have to sell assets to pay for college. We’d rather do that than take out loans. So while we can “technically” afford a $77K a year SLAC, and having just finished touring them and larger universities, including our more affordable State U, I feel really uncomfortable at the idea of paying enormous prices for 4 years, especially considering my kids will likely want graduate degrees as well (law and vet school, perhaps). Is a smaller private college really worth $50K more per year, meaning $200K more for undergrad, per child, than State U? Are the sense of community, hand-holding, mentorship, internship and research opportunities really that much better? What do you think?[/quote]
