[quote=Anonymous]I think about this a ton given the astronomical prices. I don't think college is a total scam. I think the focus on select brand names obscures the goal of finding the right fit and leads a ton of families to overpay. I see value in paying for any/all of the things college can provide - rigorous higher education, pre-professional training, opportunities to intern, a soft launch to adult independence, study abroad, etc etc. But I can't square myself with the actual cost at many of these schools. I'm inclined to encourage my DD to get out of the rat race and go to a local state school campus and I'll give her a cash gift of would-be college savings as a grad gift. [/quote]
