Same. Did parent $ for first year college tuition room and board and then after that was on DC who got scholarships and did work study to pay for school and everything else- healthcare, food, car, gas, insurance, everything.

Healthcare?  This is extreme. I don't understand parents who would put that on a kid who is going to college and working hard, unless the parent could not afford to pay for school or for any expenses.

My two kids who are done with college are financially independent, with the exception of their cell phones and one who is still on our health insurance because not yet 26. During college they earned their own spending money, but we covered all school-related expenses and food, and sometimes clothes. Our deal with them is we paid if they worked hard and it was a win for all of us.

One kid still in graduate school and we are paying for tuition, health insurance and rent, DC pays for groceries by working. That will end in May and DC will be responsible for all expenses.[/quote]
