[quote=Anonymous]Some of us think with our heads and hearts instead of our wallets.  My oldest was a solid student with no confidence in her own abilities.  Our huge in state school where she would remain a faceless number was going to do nothing for her. She went to a small regional college, crushed it graduating at the top of her class.  She had strong relationships with professors and their recommendations helped score her a job at one of the top firms in that region despite coming from a “no name“ school.  Second child is an equally capable student but a total social butterfly networker.  He’s heading up a ton of groups and activities on campus, has half the administration in his pocket, and loves his community.  In a party school he’d lose his way but the more regimented private school keeps the whole environment more subdued.  I can see that giving him these critical maturing years in a better environment is working.  He’ll stay on for their 5th year masters and his current internship site (arranged through the school) has already said they’ll hire him.  They don’t have a tremendous amount of loans but they will be repaid quickly and should build them some decent personal credit in the process.  Totally better than a lackluster state school we could have paid but whose name carries no weight.[/quote]
