[quote=Anonymous]You don't have to pay $30K/year for an in-state college. The only people who do this are kids with less competitive stats, who didnt get any merit aid because they are insisting on going to the state "flagship," instead of a lesser known state school, where their stats would be more competitive (and they would qualify for more merit aid). Plenty of people just live at home and go to a community college for a couple of years. Then they transfer to a real school. Most freshman and sophomore courses are a joke at state schools anyway. They are either too easy, or brutal weed outs. Don't feel bad for people who spend ridiculous amounts of money on college. They are are making a conscious decision to pay a fortune to send junior to a top ranked school (where he didn't get a scholarship). Instead they could have sent him to a less prestigious school and gotten a scholarship and paid a fraction of the cost. Nothing wrong with that if you've got the money, but just don't shed any tears for them.[/quote]
