[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD and I are in a similar boat. She wants to go to school in a city and live in a city so networks will be important. We have enough in her 529 to fully pay for VCU; we would have belt-tighten to over Fordham. So she wouldn’t graduate with loans in either scenario, but we would be in a way better position to continue to help with grad school or home down payment if she went to VCU. [b] Basically would it be worth spending $140,000 over what we have saved in her 529 to give her more chances to connect with wider range of people?[/b][/quote] what do you mean by this? I went to Fordham and liked it, but it's an $80k/year school in New York...and it shows in the students who go there. (Yes, I know not everyone pays $80k/year). You will have a much broader swath of people at VCU- racially, economically, rural vs urban vs suburban background, age, etc. [/quote]
