[quote=Anonymous]OP, I think about this a lot. We may be able to save the $300K - $400K that would send my DD wherever she wanted to go. But, when I think about sending that money to a college - it doesn't sit right with me. Because we're able to, I do consider it my obligation to pay for an undergraduate degree, but our in-state flagship would meet that need at a much more reasonable price. On the other hand, I look back at my experience, and the biggest benefit I got out of college was being far from home, in a city, setting out on my own and having access to ample professional opportunities. I got there through significant merit aid, but that may not be an option here, so it could be full freight private tuition - and maybe that's "worth it"? I don't know.... we have 8-9 years before we have to make this decision. But I think about it constantly as we set our savings goals. [/quote]
