[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would not release the 529 funds for Santa Cruz, Evergreen State, [b]Oberlin[/b] or anywhere else they would likely go up in smoke.[/quote]

That's interesting. I know a couple who both went to Oberlin for undergrad.I would be shocked if either one ever did much pot; they're both fairly liberal politically but otherwise quite conservative/straight-laced. When I met them over 15 years ago, just prior to when they got engaged & long before they had children, they were already very much like this & ,according to mutual friends who knew one or both of them long before I did, they always have been. He's in his early 50s now, however, & she's in her mid-40s so [b]I wonder if school has changed a lot since they attended[/b] or if they're just outliers? [/quote]

[b]You do realize that schools can change don't you? [/b]When I went to college the term "hipster" didn't exist, pot was not legal anywhere in the U.S., the drinking age was 18 - very different campus environment.[/quote]

Um, PP, I do believe the poster above you already answered your question for you in her post. Given she stated that she was wondering whether or not the school had changed would seem to be a clear indication that she is, in fact, aware that schools can & do sometimes change. :roll:

Anyway, as to the "tuition going up in smoke" comment made by the first poster quoted, if I [i]had[/i] to chose between my college kid getting drunk on a regular basis(like many seem to at a lot of schools) & smoking pot on a regular basis, I'd definitely chose the latter.[/quote]
