[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's affecting the choices people make. When my kids were little I'd have told you we'd pay for an Ivy/top school, make it a priority. I just don't feel that way anymore. Public colleges offer a great education at a much lower price. I can see around me people are also just doing in-state for their kids, even other umc people with strong students. It has stopped being justifiable unless you get a lot of aid/help or are actually wealthy to the point 1 mil in college education is no big deal to your financial picture. [/quote]

+100 $200-500k HHI are doing publics more and more now and forgoing T10s for them.

We are a $475k HHI and my kid hit into 6 schools in T1-T20 and will be headed to UVA.

It’s not worth $400k for undergrad.[/quote]
That is your choice to make.  I agree, many would make that choice.  We saved so our kids would have the option to chose the best fit for them. But I get that for many in-state is the best financial choice, and spending $400K is ridiculous if it's not an easy spend[/quote]
