[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What I find odd is how much pare[b]nts on here think of college as trade school. [/b]College was such an important coming of age time in my life. I am so glad I went where I went and met my dearest friends. If my parents had just been focused on ROI I think it would have taken a lot away from it. I did well enough, went to la good aw school, and have had a successful life, but it was never totally about that. [b]I hope my teenagers find a place where they can connect with friends, faculty, and the whole thing, and learn and grow as people.[/b] I am not obsessed with the ROI equation.

Did the parents on here have fun in college?

I went to a top public before anyone chimes in with how I am just a product of privilege. [/quote]

The thing is, you can get this is so, so many places so having a budget for college does not also preclude growing as a person and finding your people.[/quote]

I mean, it depends on your budget, right?  For many schools, it's not so much the tuition that's a killer as room/board.  It's definitely a different experience being a commuter vs. living there.  Not saying it's bad by any means, but it's different.  [/quote]
