[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've always thought Big State U would be preferable for DC financial reasons.  I mean, really, $70,000 a year?  For 4 years?  For what exactly?  But I went to a Top 10-15 school (yeah it was like $20K then) and [b]I'm having a hard time sticking to my frugal principles[/b] now that high school is approaching for DC.  And a lot of it, I'm being honest here, has to do with status and how I'll feel saying DC is going to an Ivy or whatever.  And how DC will feel.  It's a normal human reaction, everyone considers status to some degree throughout their day so don't judge people!!!  But does this happen often that kids turn down the &gt; $70K school for the &lt; $30K school?  Can I ignore the siren song of the Ivy League?  And yes, obviously DC may not get in but let's just say for argument's sake DC is admitted.  And because DH and I are alumni, evidently DC will have to apply early to get the alumni bump so we can't just apply to both Top 10 and BSU and see what happens.  [/quote]

The ONLY reason I want my kid to go to a top 10-15 school is so they don't have to even think twice about paying for their kid's college when it's time.  If you have to think, what was the point of your top 15 education?  [/quote]
