[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My dd was not thrilled about the "best" school she got into which is a free ride, high rank...she just had it in her mind she would hate it. We visited again and she came around. Is she 100% in love? No. Is she rationally considering that this is going to be very good for her in terms of opportunities? Yes. And the deal was sweetened by excellent living conditions thanks to the low cost, plus ample ability for us to help her with whatever she decides to do during summers.[/quote]
+1 DC was not excited about the state flagship. They had super high stats and thought they could get into T10 and wanted to be around super smart people like them.  Well, it turns out that there are enough super smart people at the state flagship, a few even smarter than DC, and they also got shut out of T10.

They aren't super happy there, but they are happy enough.  They got merit aid, and with all the credits going in they are  dual majoring with a plus one masters. So, they will graduate with three degrees for under $120K.  They will have money left over in their 529 which we will contribute to their roth.

They had some good internships, too.  DC said they are pretty happy with the outcome.

DC is pretty responsible and level headed, and understands that ROI is important for our family because we don't come from family money.  I'm super proud of the adult that DC has become.[/quote]
