[quote=Anonymous]OP, I understand you care about your niece, but you seem to care about her in a way that isn’t especially curious — about what your niece wants and why, or about the college process circa 2023. What if you reframed your post as a set of questions: can a lesser-known private college incur less debt than UVA? Are there reasons a kid might not choose the most “prestigious” college? What are those reasons? What value might playing a D3 sport offer a kid beyond the ability to play after college? What are some non-typical, but wholly successful, paths to a nursing career? Just for a bit, set down all that you “know” with certainty and engage in some open-minded inquiry. The answers might surprise you (and even if they don’t, you might preserve your relationship with your beloved niece better than you would by meeting her with judgement and certainty).[/quote]
