[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's a very common problem and we did find that in-state made the most sense in our situation. Even with pretty nice merit aid, private universities were going to be twice as much as we were comfortable paying. Look closely at ALL of your in-state options and don't just go on what the peanut gallery says because they are all really wonderful in their own way.[/quote] What state are you in?[/quote] VA. I'll add that we did go in on the advice that privates can be as cheap or cheaper than in-state, but that wasn't the case. C'est la vie. Oh, and in our case it wasn't a situation of "settling" for UVA over Princeton. My kid found his just-right state university by touring, interviewing and researching, and sometimes just-right isn't the flagship.[/quote]
