[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What was his tuition at that small (presumably private) liberal arts college? With enough money, the worst student can go to college. I am thrilled your nephew did well and that the school was a good fit. I was also an average student who blossomed in college. However, most people don't have the $100k to send their average kid to a school like that. Just because a kid is accepted, doesn't mean he should go there. Even if it's a great school it's a mistake to go into that much debt or allow your kid to go into deep debt to attend the expensive private school.[/quote]

That's what we're struggling with now.  Our DD has a 2.42 GPA after her freshman year.  She's at a 2nd tier state school.  After a year she has 18 credits because of what she dropped.  I'm really having a hard time agreeing that that she should return in the fall.  It's not that I don't think she should ever go to college, but right now, it doesn't seem to be the right place for her.

Before anyone asks, there are no SN, no learning disabilities.  She's just a C student.[/quote]
