[quote=Anonymous]I encourage you to take the long view. Will GM help you DD get to her long term goals, or not really? Part of growing up is giving up short term fun for long term goals. Or, are you having a hard time letting DD go?  Not being snarky -ask yourself this seriously. Someday you will not be here and your DD will still have a life to live. How will you best equip her?

That said, I went to school on scholarship and received the college savings from my parents for investment. I eventually bought a condo and then sold it which helped my DH and I buy a house.  No college loans + home down payment has given us a start in our own families life For which we are grateful.  This post-graduate money puts a person at least 10 years ahead in savings opportunities than most without that advantage, prestigious college or not.

If GM is fine and you have contacts then I would seriously consider that option. She can always attend a great grad school.

I do agree that living at least the last two years on her own is a valuable experience / even if she just rents near you
