[quote=Anonymous]It's going to depend a lot on your kids and their needs. My kids had academic interests that were STEM based and both were most interested in larger research universities. We are Maryland residents, and they could get into UMD, which was very good for their interests. We were only willing to pay more than that if the educational experience or opportunities were better than they would have at UMD. That was a pretty small list of schools. It included Haverford, MIT, Caltech, Princeton, etc. We let them apply to two other large public universities that were comparable to UMD, so they would have a backup (for both in was Minnesota and Wisconsin), but we told them flat out we would not pay for UCLA, for example. They both got into one of the schools we agreed we would pay more for, and that's where they went. If they had expressed different interests, or had some other compelling needs, our "worth it" list would have changed. [/quote]
