[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Schools are getting away with some very fuzzy wording, in may mind. Their idea of "demonstrated need" involves loans, definitely. Then they come away feeling good about themselves, but meanwhile they have saddled my child with loans she will have for year to come! I will say that the FAFSA calculator is pretty darn eye opening as to what they think we as parents are supposed to be able to contribute. I don't know how they think it's gonna happen, but for us with a combined income of just over 200K and another child in college, they expect us to contribute $30K per year for our rising college student. And they offered her $1K in work study and $5K in student loans. Total BS.[/quote]

You actually sound awful. Why didn’t you save more for college? 30k a year on a 200k HHI seems like a bargain. I don’t care if you have 3 kids in college. You decided to have the number of kids you did and how to space them out. Now you are complaining that you have to pay for college? [/quote]
