[quote=Anonymous]i also agree that attending an "elite" school is in no way required for success. Our choice in sending out child to a top 10ish full pay SLAC had more to do with the idea that these 4 years are a bridge between living at home and being an independent adult. This school has a particular philosophy that meshes with values we've tried to instill as parents. This was also our child's first choice among the options (probably because of the prestige more than the philosophy). It is a supportive, small environment. We could afford it because we've had 529 plans for many years, and live in a modest house and my spouse doesn't spend any $$ (made easier because the pandemic curtailed MY spending.). So far no regrets, although when the request for help paying for grad school comes along, I think we'll point out that we've already paid enough![/quote]
