[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sounds like he is not interested in UMD - not really your business why, or how his parents will pay for college, unless they're asking you to contribute. Based on your post it sounds like there is a history of intrusiveness and control. I'd guess your daughter is fed up and doesn't want to deal with your reaction, so she's letting you find out passively. [/quote]

A facebook post on Saturday said he was rooting for the Maryland football team and wished he could have gone to the game versus Rutgers. How does one get fed up with a scholarship?[/quote]

One has decided that one would prefer to stay closer to home, and one's mother agreed. Now one and one's mother are fed up with one's grandmother, who thinks that her scholarship should be the sole deciding factor in one's choice of university.

My guess, OP, is that neither of them sees an end to this, and wants to keep him away from you. Guess what? They cut the marionette strings.[/quote]

They won't be able to cut the marionette strings of tens of thousands in non-dischargeable student loans. They'll realize the scope of their stupidity in 5 or 6 years.[/quote]
