[quote=Anonymous]Probably been said already but college much more expensive now. If you are UMC you will not get need based aid or a Pell grant. Work will only amount to a few spending bucks, and bright kid doesn’t necessarily amount to top student. It’s what you do with your time, study habits etc. that results in top grades. You prob don’t need to put away $300k but $100K would at least partially cover you. Otherwise you may be writing a check for more than that AND saddling your kid with lots of loans. Also everyone thinks their kid will get some kind of full ride, academic or athletic. They most likely will not. Unless they are very poor, an URM or some kind of extreme genius (like curing cancer in the kitchen smartJ. Signed, mom of 2018 grad. [/quote]
