Thank you parents of CC

<p>The dust is almost settled, and I have two sons going off to very different universities. One to a large private (95% sure LOL) and one to a tier 2 mid-sized public university in the Northwest. Total cost is about 80K per year for both boys and I will see a total of about 20K out of pocket to me. The boys will only have Stafford loans to deal with upon graduation. They have received a very nice mix of scholarship and grants. While the bill could have been cheaper these are the schools they have chosen and are looking forward to going to.</p>

<p>This site was very helpful on picking schools, although a bit biased, and I learned a lot. It is great that many of you hang around to help the next group of lost parents.</p>

<p>:)</p>

<p>Perhaps I will hang around as well and share their experiences to help the next group.</p>

<p>Thanks for the update, drizzit. I have followed some of your posts here and on the Engineering forum. I think you will have a lot to offer to the families navigating these waters in the future.</p>

<p>I hope you do stick around!! I did...though I admit to being addicted. But college admissions is so overwhelming...it does feel good if you can help out a little. :) </p>

<p>Glad to hear how well things have worked out for your sons!</p>
