[quote=Anonymous]The tuition, room and board has been accurate. However, flying the child home for Thanksgiving, winter break, spring break, and flying there for parents weekend (and paying an outrageous amount for a hotel), as well as all the little things needed, add up to a lot. It's like buying a house by stretching, and then you realize you need window shades or curtains, bathmats and shower curtains, kitchen towels and entry mats, etc. If you are stretching, and budgeting every dollar, college will seem a lot more than what you thought. But chances are, those costs will exist at any OOS college, so unless your kid is staying within a couple of hours drive, suck it up, allow them to enjoy the ride, and just keep forking over the dough and smiling. It's only 4 years. Per child. We have 2 currently in college and one who's graduated and gainfully employed. Only one stayed within driving distance[/quote]
