[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My parents told me I had to stay within 3 hours. We were not in this area but there were many excellent schools to choose from. [b]They wanted to be able to drive quickly if there was an emergency and I was the oldest child so they were nervous about me leaving. [/b]It was okay and I am planning on telling my children they have to stay in state unless there is a very specific program or reason to attend a private school out of state. Financially it doesn't make sense. My husband is still delusional about them getting full scholarships at a private. Lol[/quote]

#1 How often does this happen? 
#2 If there were a true emergency, you would fly out.
#3 A lot of parents don't understand how financial aid works. If your kid gets into a school like Harvard and you qualify for financial aid (and the vast majority of families do qualify for some sort of aid), I hope you realize that it would be cheaper for your kid to go to Harvard than to go to an in-state school. Don't squash your kids' dreams because of misleading information.[/quote]
