[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a VA resident, you cannot beat the public, in-state options for college. That is nothing to sneeze at. [/quote]

Except ZERO of my kids have any interest of going in state. I say vast majority of my oldest two kids HS did not go in state. Problem in state too many kids from in state. VA in particular overly favors in state so not much of a college experience. So a crap shoot to mover there for the schools. Unlike K-12 you where you pick a good school district kids go. You pick a state with good in-state options it is a good chance they wont get in or wont want to go. [/quote]

I'm always amused by these responses. We had ongoing, age-appropriate discussions with our kids in which we made it very clear that we were fortunate to live in a state with such a wide variety of options for great college experiences, and that our budget could pay for one of those in-state experiences, and taking out big loans for undergrad was a no go. So, they always accepted and were comfortable with their options. (Yes, if they were some wunderkind getting full rides elsewhere that would have been fine. A trip to the college forum will quickly reveal that's not a sound strategy.)[/quote]
