The college education cost in NE is ridiculous. $80k+ for schools like Fairfield, Providence, Fordham. As someone who was in that school range, I very heavily considered a SEC school due to price and trying something totally different. Ended up at a private school in the south with decent merit.

Oh on your street. So you guys are the intellectual kings. Smart kids are going where they will be happy and also where they may receive a free education on merit money down south. No one cares about Ivy anymore. It is a down brand.

This has got to be a joke. Sure, I'll encourage my DD to throw away her hard work and dreams to go to Bama, join a sorority, and meet a DB frat boy to marry. So much progress!


Or she can go to med school so there is that.

It’s the average from UMC NE families. Frozen out of the top schools. We know several from Long Island this year. They didn’t get their early/ea choices so accepted down south. Their state schools aren’t great in NY either- figure they will follow the sun and booze train
