[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Only fools would decline. College is what you make of. Dreams schools don’t mean dream results.[/quote] Speak for yourself. UMD was a safety school for DS. He got merit elsewhere (more than half tuition) where he would have preferred to attend over UMD. He ended up at a top 20 and would never have had the same experiences at UMD where he would be with a lot of the same people from his neighborhood. He wanted to be further away from home at a top university that has name recognition and prestige...oh and great football too :) Our 529 had over $300K when he started and we depleted it. Money well spent. Our net worth is over $10M, so we will be fine lol. [/quote] I was going to say, for people who regard college as a Veblen good, a full scholarship actually makes the school less attractive. And here you are to illustrate my point![/quote]
