[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I live in Arlington and I attended an Ivy. But the cost is too high now and I’ll encourage my kids to apply to state schools. I bet there are a lot of others in similar situations.[/quote]

Same for me. I went to Yale but can’t afford an Ivy for my daughter. She can go to any in state school in Virginia. [/quote]

I find it telling that so many Ivy grads can’t afford to send their kid to an Ivy. DH and I both went to a state school. We can easily afford private HS,  Ivy tuition, second home, etc. I guess it’s really not the golden ticket everyone thinks it is. Smart kids do well wherever they go. [/quote]

Guess you've never heard of public service. It's telling when someone thinks money is the only measure of value or worth. I guess there is value to sending kids to Ivies if they don't learn this at state schools. [/quote]

It’s not all about the ROI. [/quote]

It’s not? I thought that was exactly what we were talking about. The Ivy League isn’t out of your reach. Just take out loans. It shouldn’t be a problem for you because you don’t look at education from a return on an investment perspective.[/quote]

You don't get this at all.[/quote]
