I feel so relieved.

We picked a 1st choice, 2nd choice, 3rd choice. "We" because it was a family decision: we parents wanted low-cost options, and our teen wasn't picky as long as the colleges had the major he wanted and were either close to home or within a context that felt familiar - so one of these choices is in a country that speaks our native language. I know that's not a lot of colleges. But frankly we're done here, and unless he collapses completely, he's certain to get into his 2nd and 3rd picks.

You and your child are SEPARATE PEOPLE. It's your child's list.  [/quote]

Is your child paying their way?[/quote]

Do you only buy clothes and music and books for your child that YOU like?

I’ve never understood people who resent meeting their children’s financial needs. Seems like some of you just had a kid so you could tell them what to do. [/quote]

+1000 It is not your list!! I would never pick my kid’s college list (or major for that matter). As long as they know the financial parameters, it is completely their decision. Parents around here are so controlling. I will offer advice about what I think, but ultimately my kid’s life. We can pay full tuition for our kids, so maybe this is the difference?[/quote]
