@warbrain I looked at their AGI and the results of the NPC and made a spreadsheet detailing all of the external factors that already detract from their finances (my sister’s tuition, my younger brother’s expenses, relatives overseas, houses, etc) and concluded that they likely wouldn’t be able to afford paying full price for my college education over the course of 4 years without it imposing a significant financial burden, especially because they’re very close to retirement.
@happymomof1 There isn’t going to be anything left in my sister’s college fund by the time I enroll because the funds are going to be exhausted before she graduates. I’ll definitely take a look at Bryn Mawr and Mt. Holyoke! I’ve heard really good things about them. Tomorrow I’ll determine an upper affordability limit with my parents so that I can determine a clear route of action. Thank you!
@Wien2NC Thank you! I’ll take a look at all of those.
@ucbalumnus Thank you for the reminder!
