[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We would pay if our children are accepted and would like to attend our undergrad, which happens to be an Ivy (though a much maligned one on these boards, since, gasp! it's not HYP). Our parents paid for it for us, which was a sacrifice for mine, not so much for his, and we both had excellent experiences at a small school with an incredible focus on undergrad teaching.

As to those who say they don't know anyone who married someone from college, I find that surprising. Among my closest college friends half are married to someone they knew in undergrad or met after at a college event or through mutual college friends. [/quote]

Because the "elite" look down on anyone who marries before they are 35. They feel it is better to get married at 40 when you have gobs of money to pay for IVF. There is nothing wrong with going to state school and getting married in your twenties when you are at your peak fertility. These normal people have a happy life. Thinking you will be happier getting two Ivy League degrees and spending 100 hours a week working and putting off family life will lead to bliss is a story people make up in their heads.[/quote]

Interesting that you think there's only one path to happiness. Maybe you should have gone to an elite college to broaden your perspective.
