[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter has fallen in love with Indiana and she didn't get into Tech which was her first choice. She has gotten into Miami Ohio which gave her a bunch of aid, making it cost about $38,000. Making Miami Ohio $38,000 and Indiana about $50,000, plus flights and ect. We could afford Indiana if we really wanted plus she got a $5,000 a year scholarship and has applied for a bunch of other scholarships. ItJust wanted to her some insight about thoughts on paying more for a school and if its all worth it. Thank you!

Btw she is majoring in hospitality or communications.[/quote]

Are you inquiring about "paying up" for Indiana when cheaper options are available?  If you can afford, sure.  Well respected school.  We will likely be in a similar situation, by not taking the "cheapest" alternative. Yes, $50k is a chunk of money, but it's not like your paying $85k for some no name SLAC that's a glorified babysitter. Congratulations. Best of luck!![/quote]

Why denigrate SLACs/LACs? Each to their own, but I don't see why this jab needed to be included if you made a different decision. Honestly, most no-name LACs will provide a lot of aid and the S(elective)LACs offer some of the best undergraduate teaching experiences in the country and good industry/graduate school connections. Personally, I would be less excited about paying a hefty sum for an OOS public when those in-state kids get the real deal, but hey, each to their own. There's a more polite way to phrase differences in personal choice and values. If you kid decided to go OOS for Indiana, I would be really happy for them. [/quote]
