@bclintonk Thank you for being brave enough to say it’s okay not to go to a school that’s inexpensive! My daughters want to go to some small, good quality LACs in the northeast and while we’ll get a bit of need based aid we’ll also need to take out loans. However – I’m comfortable that they and we can handle them, and that it’s not an idiotic move. I’d feel much, much more worried and guilty if I made them attend a large school in, say, Mississippi or Alabama, or our local large state school where they really hate the thought of going. Cost isn’t the ONLY factor to consider.
