[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is an eye-opening thread.  Parents need to do their  best to save for their kids college and maximize their education dollars by using all available options - including state schools. [/quote]
Why? A loan won't kill you.[/quote]

It won’t kill you, but it is better not to be so much in debt if there is a way to avoid it.  State schools are wonderful options.[/quote]

They are, but I wouldn’t discount private universities entirely.  Oftentimes they give you more aid, bringing the cost close to that of a state school. Unless you’re living at home and commuting, state schools are not the cheap bargain they used to be.[/quote]

This. And there are differences in the privates for how much aid they have. I got into both Princeton and Wellesley (did not attend either) and Princeton was cheaper. My parents are actual working class though. If I were applying now, all the top schools would be free for me. [/quote]
