[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Decide beforehand what you as a family can afford. My old SLAC is not $65K a year not including airfare and definitely not worth it. How many kids do you have? What can you afford after taxes? A lot of these smaller liberal colleges, IMHO, are just not worth the excessive fees. Please don't dangle a carrot in front of DC if you can't afford full freight for 4-5 years (a lot of kids are now taking 5 years to comoplete).[/quote] This, a thousand times this. Determine your budget first. Next, develop a plan based on your state of residence. UMCP is tremendous value for the money if one can get in. Things are even better in VA because there are several other decent schools even if your kid is not accepted in UVA or W&M. There is also a choice of very big, mid-sized and small colleges. Once you've considered all your in-state options, make a plan for out of state/private colleges within your budget. [/quote]
