How much money should my parents contribute?

<p>No matter how favorable the terms, this girl will borrow over $60K for undergrad as COA will rise. That is an amazing burden for a new college grad. It will force her to take a well paying job instead of another she might like. Grad school loans on top of this will make her lifestyle a modest one unless she becomes a banker.</p>

<p>Entitlement?? No way, she seems to have a great attitude about taking this on. I wonder how the parents feel. Can they help but don't want to or are they able to?</p>
