[quote=Anonymous]Depends on the kid, the major, your savings and priorities. How many other kids you have.  Your ages, pensions.  Is graduate or professional school likely?  OP, I think you know you can't get meaningful answers from the limited facts disclosed in the original post.

I went to the honors program in a State U (similar to UMCP).  Got a good education, but as I got older and my DC went into the process I realized there was much that my educational experienced missed -- and I didn't realize I had missed it.  So when DC said his first choice school was an ivy-- while we didn't push for it and did push for many backups and downplayed the ivy -- I agreed we'd pay for it although DC could have gotten much merit aid at less selective schools.  But again, I can do this and know it means less exciting vacations or no second home, or deferring a new car, but for us it doesn't mean no vacation at all or no dinners out or no movies.  If it did -- that's what it would have meant to my parents -- the decision would be tougher.
