[quote=Anonymous]First, yes, op would have been better off waiting to marry until her dd was out of college for financial aid purposes. But what is done is done and you don’t seem to have any sympathy for the situation your dd is in (nor does anyone else in the family for that matter - how lonely for her). Perhaps using some of that $30,000 for therapy would be money well spent (and I’m not being snarky). Second, just bc she has good grades and test scores doesn’t mean that she will get into a top school like Amherst or Williams. There are a lot of small private liberal arts colleges where she can get a lot of MERIT aid to bring the cost down to around $30,000 per year and then she would have to take the same amount of loans she would have to take to go to Maryland. I’m assuming the amount you are giving her is $30,000 total and not $30,000 per year? She would likely have to work for money for books and spending money (unless you are willing to kick in extra for that). But there is a happy medium between an $80,000/year private that doesn’t offer any merit aid and University of Maryland. The privates that give merit may not be as prestigious but the professors are excellent. Just another option. [/quote]
