[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why not use the state school option?[/quote] A lot of middle class do it. But the conversation with your teenager is not going to be easy. Kid: I am so excited to be accepted to my favorite and top college in the country. You: We can’t afford 80k a year, instead you should go to state university. Kid : So, tell me why I was working so hard in high school? You : Well…[/quote] Yep. Though my dad told me I could only apply to VA public universities. He explained how he’d pay in-state in full or I could cover the difference for private. I just listened and applied in-state. My parents always mentioned the high cost of privates/ivies because we were middle class donut hole and would get zero aid. We make more (adjusted with the times) than my parents did so we are surrounded by Ivy/top 10 private grads who wish to send their kids the same so I get it’s hard for them to digest.[/quote]
