[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have 2 girls in HS and a total of $250K saved for college, and yet this only fully funds them for an in-state school.  If either goes out of state to public or private, the costs are prohibitive.  Even within the confines of the DCUMer, how do people fully fund their child's undergraduate education.  Second, do most colleges provide some form of merit aid for strong students, such that that actual costs are less than what I'm seeing on college websites?[/quote]

State school has been drilled into my kids since birth. I have one at Darden at UVA getting his masters and he got his undergrad at W&M the other at VaTech engineering school.

Our oldest is paying his way through Darden and got a lot of free money.

Ad a virginia resident I did not see any compelling reason to encourage my kids to look outside our state borders for schools. [/quote]

I'm all for state schools and am a double hoo, but I wouldn't point to Darden (or UVA Law for that matter) as an example of an affordable state school. They're essentially the same price of similarly situated private programs. [/quote]
