[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1.  Assuming you have means and it is not a complete struggle, parents should pay for their kids undergrad tuition and room and board.  That is part of the deal in 2012.  That is, saving for your kids college should be a lower priority than your mortgage, 401K and your normal quality-of-life (vacations, etc.).   But I think it should be ahead of getting a nicer car and/or a bigger house.

[b]2.  The college "experience" is important.  The people who do well in life are the ones who are well adjusted with good social skills and who get along with other people.  Plus the contacts and friends you make in college are huge for future success.[/b]
3.  The parent owes it to their kids to give them advice (this major is better than that major, etc.), but it is not my choice as to their major or college (assuming the school is within my budget).  Now there are some limits.  I am not going to pay for an unaccredited school and I'd probably say it has to be within X hours of home (say 4-5 hours).[/quote]

um really?? bwahahahhahaha[/quote]
You can pick up social skills at places besides frat parties.

you don't think social skills are the most important factor in success?  Of course they are.  First, you have to have the credentials.  But once you get in the door, it is personality.[/quote][/quote]
