[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah I don't know how higher (but not super rich) earners in VHCOL areas are supposed to pay for multiple kids to go to college. My plan was parent plus, the loans will end when I die. I don't have half a million per kid to send them. If this passes IDK where they can go. [/quote]

Tell them now, before they get far along in the college process, that they are merit hunting. [/quote]

I agree with this, but I also think undergrad should be heavily subsidized for in-state students who can gain admission. You should be able to get a degree's worth of undergrad credits for free or nearly free - student should only pay for books, and perhaps specialty lab fees. But if you fail a class or change majors, you may need to buy additional course credits to earn a degree.

I attended a public land-grant university in the 1990s and my annual fees were something like $7k. It's much, much more expensive today - both because costs are being driven up, and because states stopping putting money into the system.[/quote]
