[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would never let my kid go to a massive school where everything is overcrowded students are just a number. [/quote]

What if that’s what they wanted and it was 1/4 of the cost?[/quote]

If that is what they truly wanted, sure.  But as we researched colleges with all 3 of our kids, each one quickly (smartly) came to realize the huge benefits of an undergrad experiences that is under 8K students.  Our T50 state U has over 30K undergrads. All kids knew that was not the best experience for them (despite all 3 gaining admission, even to the "impacted majors they wanted") 
Meanwhile at their smaller schools, they always get into the courses they need (sure it might be an 8am or not with the best prof, but they never had to wait a semester to take a required/needed course).  They appreciate not having 200+ in classes, advisors who know them and routinely willing to meet as needed, e tc.

As a parent it's your job to guide your kid to what is best for them, show them and hope they pick wisely
