[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Personally I found the article somewhat disturbing. My parents were lower middle class - my dad was the first in his family to go to college, and I knew ZERO women who had gone to college. But my parents saved and told me to apply to the best schools possible. I was amazed to see families with far greater wealth than we had tell their kids: we pay in-state fees and anything more is on you. I got into an Ivy and got some aid, but I also took on loans which made me a hell of a lot more responsible than my friends whose parents paid every penny. I knew I needed a job after school was done, wheras they knew mom and dad would keep paying the bills. I think the MIchelle Singletary column disregarded what was best for her child in favor of what was cheapest, and in my experience that isn't always the same thing.[/quote] Were your loans in the six figure range?[/quote]
