Speak for yourself.  UMD was a safety school for DS.  He got merit elsewhere (more than half tuition) where he would have preferred to attend over UMD.  He ended up at a top 20 and would never have had the same experiences at UMD where he [b]would be with a lot of the same people from his neighborhood[/b].  He [b]wanted to be further away from home at a top university that has name recognition and prestige[/b]...oh and great football too :)

Our 529 had over $300K when he started and we depleted it.  Money well spent.  Our net worth is over $10M, so we will be fine lol.

DD say the same thing, I told her this is being very immature but you seem to proud of this  :shock: [/quote]

PP here.  If we can afford to have him wherever he wants, why on earth would we send him to Maryland.  SMH.

WOW![/quote]

We had fully funded 529 and could afford to send DC anywhere they wanted. They were accepted to several T20 but chose UMD. Some kids don't want to go far away and welcome being with long-time friends. I think the pandemic contributed to the decision in DC's case because they hadn't been away from home during summers as much as maybe they would have been otherwise. [/quote]
