[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]when parents shell out $30k-$80k per year for a kid's college education, they absolutely can dictate where a kid goes to college [b]within reason.[/b] Setting a 6 hour driving radius still allows hundreds of colleges as options. That is plenty to choose from. I'm GenX and all of my friends' parents had stipulations on what they would pay or would not pay for, and that was way before college prices rose to their current inflated amounts.[/quote] Within reason. Indeed, OP's question is whether the distance restriction is reasonable. (Cost is not a reason by itself, but as a small part of a much larger array of expenses which can vary so widely among schools that the difference in travel cost would be negated.) Perhaps what you are saying is that the paying parent can attach whatever strings they like, as a practical matter, and that is true. That doesn't make the string reasonable.[/quote]
