[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A lot of people here didn't have kids in college for true emergencies.

When COVID first hit and we didn't understand it, some colleges gave a day or two of notice before shutting down dorms.

During disasters, you can't expect a college to find alternative accommodations for thousands of students.

If you have a ton of ready cash, you can throw money at these problems, of course. [/quote]

True but I don’t want to plan the rest of my life based on a once in a century pandemic. (this is unrelated to my answer to OP which would be: have a frank convo about finances with your child before they apply anywhere, let them apply anywhere so long as they clearly understand that you will beed to compare cost/aid packages when acceptances are in and so not to get her heart set on any college a flight away, or not to apply at all if she thinks that would be too hard. but I agree with the posters who said that your total cost to a midwest college including transporation may wind up to be less than a college a 2 hour drive away.)[/quote]
