[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP - not everyone who is successful in life was a top HS student or even a top classroom student. The important thing is they need to have an interest in getting a degree and getting a job when they are done.  Do they have summer jobs, are they willing to work? As long as they aren't going to college just to party, then I say you set a budget upfront (as all families should do) in the application process. I think they will do better in college if they are at a place they chose to attend. And as others noted - they are likely to mature in college.

But isn't OP's real concern paying $80,000 or more per year for unmotivated students ?

Let the kids earn the right to attend college/university.[/quote]

But to go almost anywhere in the future they will need a college degree.

After all of the effort of raising them, why would you sabotage their success now? To save money? To teach  them a lesson? Very self-serving and short sighted. [/quote]
