[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here-- yes, I get the families save, we save too-- and that compromises have to be made, that's part of life. To be honest, I think these colleges are too expensive. 
Several fellow students in my grad school who went to small, selective, private undergraduate schools. I went to a big, in state affordable university. We all ended up in the same kind of jobs, in the same city. 
I think that unless these schools are showing great student outcomes (i.e. better than they would get without the 300K price tag), they cost too much...but that is only my opinion and I'll act accordingly. [/quote]

It doesn't matter what you or we think.  Its the price tag.  You pay it, you get aid or loans or your kids go where you can afford.

Reality is like you said, it doesn't matter where you go to college except a few professions like medicine or big law.  Looking back, there was the public vs. private school fights as well when we were kids.  All of us ended up at similar colleges and professions so the most important thing is where you can afford and where you child will be happy.  My goal is no loans or debt so if that means a state school, that's where they are going.  There are multiple options for the state schools.[/quote]
