<p>Thanks for starting this thread.
We are still thinking about it.
DD already has admission to UC Berkeley and UCLA which will be ~$ 100 k for four years. We are prepared to pay for that.
In about three weeks time we'll hear from her favorite private schools (East Cost).
If she gets accepted, we are looking for a $200K tag. We have to get a loan to pay for it, but we are happy to do that.
It will be a hard decision for us. The main problem is that my DH and I are not on the same page on where she should go. He is convinced that kids who go to East Coast settle down there and may not come back to CA.</p>
