[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My college kid is low maintenance and spends very little on stuff. He's at a SLAC where the meal plan is unlimited swipes and where the off-campus environment is very limited and low cost. The only surprise should not be a surprise, which is that tuition has steadily risen every year. Just paid his last semester bill, which started out around $41k for the first semester and is now $45k.[/quote] I think this is an unheralded benefit of a rural location. It sounds like where I went to college. I really didn’t spend a lot on dining and entertainment, all my extra money went to J crew orders :D Having gone to grad school in NYC and knowing how expensive it is to live there, we said no to applying to NYU, Columbia, Chicago or Miami. Those schools are expensive enough before you even add in the costs to just be there.[/quote]
