[quote=Anonymous]OP we are in the same boat as you. Two kids aged 10-12 in public schools in MD. Saving in 529s. Shocked that college costs 500% more than it did in the mid-late 80s when we were looking at colleges. We seriously considered moving to VA for the HS years, to cover the 2 years required residency requirement of the colleges there, and to find some kind of short-term school stability for the kids. However, I then remembered how my own parents relocated me in those years to gain a similar advantage and how it back-fired spectacularly because of the disruption to all our lives. I floundered academically for a while and it took a lot of effort to bring things back up again. I think if we moved our kids at that stage, they'd probably have similar issues. There is a lot to be said for continuity and our kids have moved a lot already. I don't know what the answer is, and I would like at least one of ours to go to W&M and think both are probably capable of that.[/quote]
