[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to UVA for undergrad and law school. It's an awesome school. If my kid gets into Columbia and UVA, I would pay for Columbia, bc Columbia is a better undergrad than UVA. Columbia opens doors that UVA does not. How could you ever say you wouldn't pay for the better school? I could pay cash for her tuition, but even if I couldn't -- if I was the poors -- I would take out loans, beg on the street, I would do ANYTHING to get the $. That so many would be unwilling to do so is a terrific indication of why you are middle class in the first place -- you will not do whatever it takes to get to the top. Sad you condemn your kids to  your life of meritocracy. [/quote]

You don't know half of what you think you do about having little money.  Debt, especially overwhelming debt, constrains your choices and ruins lives.  It is not reasonable for a child, especially one good enough to get into Columbia, to leave their parents in dire straights to pay for it.  UVA would be plenty good enough if that was the best affordable option.

The rest of your post reflects poorly on you and your ability to see beyond your own nose.  Did you hear that deVos and the president would like to roll back the public sector loan forgiveness?  [/quote]
