[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really would prefer my DC (HS class of 2026) stay in VA-both due to proximity and also cost, However they feel that they do not want the social continuation of their HS-with the top 10% academically going to UVA, top 30% to VTECH and most of the rest of the kids to JMU, VCU, GMU or NOVA. We are in a high achieving public HS in NOVA.

Have any of your kids expressed similar views?

Yes, and  I am prefacing this as we can afford any school in the country.

What we did was if they wanted an OOS school because they wanted a large school like a Michigan they had to pay the difference in fees to our instate which is UMD.

If they got into say a Stanford or MIT etc then we pay. They did so we did.

However our youngest didn't want MD or those others he went to NC State Engineering, and it was cheaper than going instate to MD when he went LOL so we paid. And I hated writing that check because he was accepted at better schools which irritated me his mother to no end. Meanwhile, his career trajectory has been just as good if not better than his siblings. LOL

It is there life but they should understand how finances work.

We also had our kids work starting sophomore year and summer monies they paid for any extras while in school. 
There is no reason they can not work part time and go to school. I did because I was poor, they could because they are capable humans. [/quote]
