[quote=Anonymous]In some ways, it is NOT your decision to make.  I don't mean that you don't have the right to spend your money the way you want to, just that you have spent YEARS and $100k for private school setting your DC up to be in this position.  If you bail on the plan you have been following (since birth?), your DC might not be able to deal with the change.  Having started at a top-25 school but graduating from my state flagship school after a lot of floundering, I can tell you that the biggest reason I had trouble in college was because I had to attend the school we could afford rather than my first choice.  Talk to your DC, NOW, and figure out what they are thinking.

By the way, there are LOTS of things that need to be part of your ongoing conversations with your DC.  For example, a good case can be made that double majors are a bad idea.  http://calnewport.com/blog/2010/09/27/how-double-majors-can-ruin-your-life-two-arguments-for-doing-less/

I'm not saying a double major is a bad idea for your DC just that more is not always better.[/quote]
