[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The problem for middle class is affordability of colleges unless it is in state universities. Not rich enough to pay and not poor enough to get financial aid.[/quote] Yes disadvantaged for being in the middle..[/quote] Yes. So very bright kids that get into these selective privates/ivies can't afford it like kids of lower income that get to go for free. And, many of these families just live in lower cost areas or one of the parents doesn't work. It is very sour to experience it. I either drain my savings or my kid can't do what others of the same grades/scores and advantages life get to do. And, if you choose to go into debt to fund their dream school, you find out that over 50% aren't paying the full price tag like you, many not even close to the full price tag and at many of those privates the kids don't have to pay a dime.[/quote] Oh the drama. Our kids will go to state colleges and will be just fine.[/quote]
