[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have seen so many threads over the years in this forum from parents asking questions. I’m curious for those people who started threads and whose kids are now in college, what did DCUM get right and wrong for you? [/quote] Money. totally wrong about money. We are a donut hole family, and all we could afford was in-state tuition. period. Forget about merit aid at so-so SLACS. Ain't gonna happen unless you've got at least $60K to spend per year instead of $85K. That difference didn't matter to us -- neither was affordable. Kids are ecstatically happy at very low-ranked colleges. It really doesn't matter where they go to college as long as they are happy there. All this prestige crap is garbage. Total, utter, garbage. I went to a fancy college and hated it. I wish I'd gone to a less prestigious college, as my kids did, and did well and was happy. I've regretted it to this day, and it really did very little for me. 2+2 = 4 everywhere. [/quote]
