[quote=Anonymous]or-I think it is great that people save for college via 529s, or family money, or however. But it's a cold hard fact that many families can not save a lot. Private colleges want to fill their classes too. And they do that by making the cost similar or slightly higher than the state schools (for the people who are not wealthy), so the wealthy will pay "ticket" but most will not. My advice is to apply your kid to state schools AND private, I think you will be pleasantly surprised to see that privates are a lot closer in cost to state schools than you ever thought. Many state schools are not a bargain anymore btw.

For all you savers out there, be happy that you figured out a way to save, please don't crap on the non-savers and deem them and their kid's destiny as "state schools bc you didn't save" it  is not the case. Non savers have great outcomes too, non-savers make calculated decisions based on the set of issues they have at the time and many of them have incredible outcomes. Cast a wide net, private/public, and make your decisions after the acceptances but DO NOT be discouraged from applying to "financial reaches." [/quote]
