[quote=Anonymous]OP, UMBC is your in state college? How much was your daughter's merit aid award? In state tuition this year was $12,000 at UMBC. Can your daughter live at home and commute? Cost of room would be 0, cost of food would be whatever you pay now for her -- $200 a month? Cost of commute would vary depending on your circumstances of course. They estimate the cost of books at $1600 a year -- but you can get them more cheaply. Your daughter can take a loan of about $5000 a year to help with costs, and is expected to work summers to earn at least $2000. Does that, plus her scholarship, get you close to being able to afford the expense? How much per month did you think you could pay towards college? [/quote]
