Well, what are DH's reasons? If it is just that he does not want to disappoint his child, that's one thing. If he feels that the child will not succeed in a large state school, and would be more likely to succeed in a smaller private institution, I can see why he would work to try to make it happen.

If the kid needs a fancy private country club atmosphere to get a degree, he's going to be in for a big surprise when he enters the work force. And good luck paying off that 6 figure student loan.[/quote]

That's not necessarily true.  My sister was painfully shy and terrible at math.  My parents extended themselves to send her to a small liberal arts college, where she found her niche and did well.  She went on to get a graduate degree and does well for herself in a non-math-related field.  If she had gone to a large state school, she would have floundered.  If our state had an option like Mary Washington in VA, that probably would have been a good fit for her, but it didn't.[/quote]
