[quote=Anonymous]First, consider setting expectations for your kids. UVA and William and Mary are great schools! If they offer your DC’s field of study, I would start singing the praises of the instate options to your DC and let him/her know that it will be a stretch to afford a private T40 school. Second, if you go the private college route, talk to DC about how he/she needs to take out loans and work over the summer. It’s not ideal, but your family _can_ make it work—the question is whether you collectively decide it’s worth it. FWIW, my spouse and I were paying loans until our oldest reached middle school. Parents do the best they can to support their kids. Your child will survive. [/quote]
