[quote=Anonymous]No. I would not let a bright kid with great SAT scores and grades go to a "party school" he chose only to be with friends. One that had a special program he wanted sure. But not if the only reason is to drink with his buds. We sacrifice a lot to save for college. Kids need to do there part and go to the best place to meet long term goals. And if they have and interest and talent for something not mainstream, that may not be a top 20 (or top 50) school. I would tell my kid straight up that I do not plan on paying for the party school. Or co-sign loans for it. If that's the only school he gets into, he can find a way to pay, or go to the community college for 2 years and live at home. There are great 4 year schools in VA that have guaranteed admission after 2 years, and it saves us a lot of money. Or he can gap year, live at home & work and reapply. Then again, my kids would take this seriously because I always follow through. [/quote]
