[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]First question to be asked of parents: What can you realistically afford for five or six years. Do NOT look at any institution that the family cannot afford. Do not dangle schools in front of your children that the family cannot afford. Run those EFC calculators and figure it out in advance. Don't waste time on schools that are $80K a year ++. Count on more than four years. There are 4000 institutions in America, there is a place for your child. Consider highly in-state if finances or other family issues (illness, taking care of seniors, parents, SN kids) are at play. Consider community college guaranteed admissions programs.[/quote] But base the â$80kâ figure on the net price. For broke families, Princeton, for example, is the cheapest school other than the military academies. [/quote]
