[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Unless they seriously think they’re going to cure cancer, kids are CRAZY to take on crushing college debt. [/quote] We follow this thinking as well. We’re in Maryland though, not Virginia. Our oldest attended Montgomery College for two years (had a full scholarship, as she had a challenging course load in high school and fantastic grades/test scores). She then transferred to University of Maryland College Park. Again, she received a scholarship (this specific scholarship was only available to transfer students meeting certain criteria). The scholarship paid for about half of her tuition. She commuted, which further saved money. After two years at UMD, she graduated this past spring. She has a full time job using the skills from her major. She’s living at home for now and will able to pay off her debt in about one year. She’ll be debt free at the age of 24. [/quote]
