[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One of the many colleges that take everyone who can pay tuition.[/quote]

Not helpful. Was hoping for specific recommendations of not awful schools that are affordable.[/quote]

What is affordable to you?  No one on this board knows your finances so that's going to make it hard for people to respond intelligently.

For specific recommendations, you've told us basically nothing about what type of school environment is appealing to your kid.  So, how about Gettysburg College, Muhlenberg College, or Ithaca College.[/quote]

Thanks. Kid is introverted and has little interest in college. But has two Ivy League grad parents, one with a PhD. So we don't even know where to start with this. Money is not a huge issue, but we're not rich enough to afford some of the most expensive schools comfortably, but in any case my husband refuses to spend a ton of money on a kid who doesn't even want to go. Low grades are due mainly to working too much (he has a part time job he loves and he works as much as he can) and also just not liking school work. [/quote]

Have you looked into the NOVA community college pathway to public Virginia schools? Your kid could work towards an associate's and, if he decides he's ready for this, aim to meet the requirements for guaranteed admission to ODU/VT/JMU/UVA/W&M. It would be a different college experience, but you would save quite a bit of money. Plus, if your kid would have an AA after two years if he decides he doesn't want to do more school than that.
