[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Been a long time lurker on DCUM and I have to say the college talk is really starting to scare me. [b]Do people really believe that of the over 2000 colleges in America you can only go to 30 or so places? [/b]That seems crazy to me. Our kids are still pretty young and we're saving aggressively for college but we are both in agreement that spending 70K+ per year for DC to attend some "name" school is just ridiculous.  DW and I both went to top 10 schools in our day and I don't know if we can pin our "success" on attending these schools. Plus when we were in grad school we both met people who had gone to undergrad in places that we had never heard of. Yet they were in the same program that we were, taking the same classes and training for the same career. Our philosophy right now is to save as much as we can to ensure both kids graduate without loans. When the time comes to select a school we hope that we can help them to pick schools that will be a good fit for each child's personality. We just don't believe that top schools are the only choice, its just not that serious. Are we alone in thinking this way? [/quote]

No of course not.  50 places is the correct answer.[/quote]
