[quote=Anonymous]I grew up in MA in the mid-80's and was a scholarship student at a prep school. My parents were not willing/able to pay anything for college because they didn't want me to go away to school so I had to do it all on my own pretty much. I researched many schools and visited friends (took the bus) who were at those colleges so that I could tour and do interviews. My focus was NESCAC and I ended up at one that I had visited and got a decent financial aid package, though I had work a lot to make up the $7-9K delta between aid and what they thought my parents could pay. In the end it was well worth it and I would do it again but I'm helping my kids because I don't want them to deal with as much work stress as I did![/quote]
