[quote=Anonymous]Just make sure you're upfront about your expectations and what you will/won't pay for. At this stage of his life your kid has to make and take responsibility for his own decision; the most you can do is help him make an informed one. If he knows that what he wants just flat out isn't an option as financed by you, he may decide to make a genuine effort to get into one of the colleges you consider acceptable. Alternatively, if he wants to go somewhere you won't pay for, he might decide to figure out how to get in and pay for it himself. Not that it's particularly my business, but I think that your attitude and the way you approach finances as a means of control might backfire. I hope I'm wrong, and I wish you and your son the best of luck in the college process; hopefully he gets in somewhere acceptable to all involved, where he's happy & thrives.[/quote]
