[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would not pay for this school at full pay. There are much better state schools or larger sized SLACs than Dickinson.
Hard pass. [/quote]

[b]Serious question: Can you name a few? We really like Dickinson. St Mary’s of Md is a contender since we live in MD. UMD is just too large.[/quote][/b]

Serious suggestion:  move to VA.  Both of our kids went in-state.  We saved a bundle and are now using that to support kids in grad school.[/quote]

S[b]eems like a bad strategy. Invest in undergrad, send your kids to fully-funded grad schools. [/quote][/b]

I disagree.  Most well-paying jobs now look for advanced degrees and that's where the name and prestige counts the most.  I'm not talking about PhDs but Law, MBA, MPP, medicine, etc.  More and more parents are viewing college as the stepping stone to the next degree so public undergrad with great grades and stellar recommendations get you to the next level.  It worked for us via UVA.  We have enough saved now to send DD to Oxford and then there's law school after she finishes her MPhil.[/quote]
