[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH and I both went to SLACs before meeting at a top 3 law school.  We know the value of a SLAC education and we can afford it for our kids.  If you can't or don't want to pay for a SLAC, that's fine, but how is it so difficult for you to understand that people have different priorities?  [/quote]

Same here. Paying for college is our top priority.

+1. DH and I met at a SLAC. We really value the small classes (our SLAC and DS’s SLAC often have only a half dozen kids in 300 level classes), only professors teaching/ no TAs, undergrads developing the relationships with professors (we had three of our professors attend our wedding, went to their houses for dinner, knew their kids), undergrads getting all the research opportunities, the schools working with the student to tailor internships and study abroad to their particular goals, classes the revolved around discussion and not lecture, we both did individual studies with professors in specialized areas where there wasn’t a class, living in a 4 year residential community...

Our parents made that possible for us, and we both had significant professional opportunities based on connections we made as undergrads with friends and professors.  So we are making it possible for our kids. We drive Subaru’ss for 10 years, we don’t go to Disney, we live in a good school pyramid, but not the most expensive one— and we saved.  And our parents saved for their grandkids.  So far, it’s been 1000% worth it.
