[quote=Anonymous]Congrats OP - your DC has some good options. One thing to keep in mind though is the mental and emotional makeup of your kid - that should have some influence. I went to school on a Regents' scholarship at a college similar to BU in profile. I had pressure to maintain the scholarship but it was not that difficult to maintain. I also got opportunities to work with professors and other perks. DH went full freight to an Ivy (not Yale). It was a severe stretch for him and his family but they sucked it up because it was Ivy. We are going through college exploration with our oldest and DH often talks about the pressure he had to succeed knowing all that his family was sacrificing financially. Sure, it kept him motivated but it also made him miserable. Looking back, he has very few fond memories of undergrad. He has done well enough financially to pay back his parents and to pay off the loans, but it seems to have left some scars. [/quote]
