Op here.. 
we did too. Could pay for Michigan but still couldn’t justify the cost of attendance as an out of state student. So i guess my question is how do you justify paying 50-70k for a slightly more prestigious school. [/quote]

For us it is not about prestige - it is about fit for a child with a learning difference. [/quote]

I agree. But so many families send their kids to expensive salc without merit aid or other financial assistance without bringing the cost down to your instate school when they could get petty similar education at the state school. What I don’t understand is how do you justify the ROI for such schools? Especially when kids go to such schools to study [b]history or philosophy[/b]. That clearly indicates they will need to go to graduate school as well or law school or medical school. Do people take out loans?[/quote]

What's wrong with history or philosophy?

From a SLAC, could turn into fully funded Phd program.

I was a history major at a SLAC. Me and my fellow history majors are doing quite well. Two clerked for SC judges, several are very successful on Wall St., one is a top lobbyist, a couple went into academia. I’m pretty sure we thought it worthwhile.[/quote]
