<p>Didn't see another link to this, but it is worth one of your NYT monthly clicks even if you do not have a subscription. The only thing I disagree with is having your kid do the negotiation with FA. Sorry, but it is a delicate negation that a parent is much better equipped to handle for many reasons. Except for that I thought it was spot on.</p>

<p>We are a family who negotiated a better package for D2 last year, so I found this pretty interesting.</p>

<p>I’m in total agreement. This article should be required reading on both Parents and Financial Aid forums. </p>
