[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What was his tuition at that small (presumably private) liberal arts college? With enough money, the worst student can go to college. I am thrilled your nephew did well and that the school was a good fit. I was also an average student who blossomed in college. However, most people don't have the $100k to send their average kid to a school like that. Just because a kid is accepted, doesn't mean he should go there. Even if it's a great school it's a mistake to go into that much debt or allow your kid to go into deep debt to attend the expensive private school.[/quote]

Don't know how recently you've looked at prices of small private liberal arts colleges in the Midwest!!

You'll need about $250K to send [b]your little snowflake to one of those charming colleges![/b] $100K will pay for a year and a little more.

I'd be able to take your post more seriously if it wasn't dripping with condescension and snark. Also, those small LAC often award scholarships and financial aid in excess of what's offered at a state school. Not saying it's the right choice for everyone, but your tone isn't helpful.[/quote]+1[/quote]
