[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How many of you urging OP’s DD to go to ESU would send your own kid there, turning down Lehigh? 
My concern would be that your DD may not be able transfer, coming from ESU, regardless of her grades. [/quote]

I had my kid turn down Lehigh for a lesser school. Not East Stroudsberg but not too far off. Kid graduated with a $110k finance job. [b]It’s not the school, it’s the kid. A smart, humble, hardworking kid will go far. That combination is in short supply today.[/b] [/quote]

100% correct.  Your DC has the work ethic, drive and ambition and unless there is something dramatic to change that, do you have reason to believe that your DC will not be as equally successful at ESU?

Now, think about taking that 180k you have and investing it for your DC.  Your DC has a full 4-year ride, is successful in the health-related field, lands a job (or gets into a good graduate program) AND has a nice investment portfolio that is growing.  That is the smart way of thinking about this.[/quote]

+1. Your kid can basically have medical school fully funded.  So graduating undergrad and medical school with OUT debt.  That's damn impressive and trust me in 10 years they will appreciate that much more than being $300K in debt[/quote]
