[quote=Anonymous]Every kids is different. I'll give my kids my advice, but will pay for them to go to a college of their choice, to the fullest extent that I can -- if I can't cover costs they will have to borrow. I mean: i will be very candid if I think they are heading in the wrong direction, and very strongly urge them to think again. But I don't think "forcing" a kid to go somewhere they dont want to go leads to college success. They grow up and have to start making their own decisions (and their own mistakes). I knew a lot of kids in college whose parents pushed them into going/told them what they could and couldn't major in and so on. They tended either to do poorly, or act out, or were just depressed. So... as a VA resident, my wallet hopes my kids go in-state. But if that's not what they want, it's their decision to make at the end of the day.[/quote]
