[quote=Anonymous]OP, I think the sighing and vague comments are the very worst thing you can do. We knew our budget. When the time comes (probably Junior Year), you will need to know your budget. That is your responsibility. We posted a paper on the frig. It listed 50 colleges, as examples, that we thought were good choices. Just a place to start. It was listed in descending order of price. We drew a line under the top few most expensive to indicate, "you'll have to pick below this line", something that costs in this range.

If you are fearful of OOS cost, you can limit your student to in-state publics only. Many parents do. If you're going to, why not just state that now? Clear and simple. Know your own mind - that takes some work - that's on you. We knew we were in a position to not limit our DC's choices to that. They DCs attended OOS public with good merit packages. Very happy with admission results. A couple private were thrown into the mix, but as expected even with merit, we could not afford.

If you don't know how you feel and what you can afford yet - stop talking. And stop with the sighing and vague comments.[/quote]
