Is it wrong to discourage our DD from attending UC's

Personally, I would not pay full freight at any OOS public, when you have a fine range of publics in your backyard at ~half the price.

<p>However, if the family is in the income range that would be full pay at UCs, note that some OOS public schools’ OOS list prices are lower than the in-state list prices of UCs (e.g. Minnesota - Twin Cities among big research universities, Minnesota - Morris and Truman State among small LAC-type schools).</p>

@aunt bea

I think what bothered her most when I posted “nobody looked like her”, is that she is very fair skinned and she doesn’t always “dress” in a conventional manner-likes to be goofy at times.

<p>Did she apply to UCSC? It is one of two UCs that is majority white, and likely among the most accepting of “goofy” dress (although it is hard to imagine “goofy” dress being that unusual at many college campuses).</p>
