February sucks

Capt,
Good advice, and in most cases is the correct path to go. My two girls did very well in HS, so I felt obligated to reward that with sending them to the school of their choice. In my case, this worked out. Mike, my eldest girl also had free rides, but she declined that and it did like hell piss me off!The schools of her choice did give her 11k or so per year because of her grades. That almost covered the dorm.
Back to February Sucks!
Like really, snowing again!!!!!
That cardboard box in FL is looking real good right now !!! LOL

Having been there and done that, I would recommend community college for two years then transfer to a four year for the degree. It gives the kid a chance to sort out his/her degree and career objectives and at a low cost. You still wind up with the big name college four year degree at a much lower overall cost. The first two years usually consist mostly of mandated core curriculum anyway. Just have to make sure that your credits are transferable to the school you want to transfer to. And of course that's not what we did, but if we had to do it over I would push for that.
We've been on her to do well in schools since she started. Her reward for the hard work? She gets to go where she wants, and we pick up the tab.
We gave her some pretty good options if she went with a school that gave her a full ride, including giving her some of the money that we would have otherwise paid for a school. She didn't go for it.
Can't say I blame her.
These days it's tough for these kids to get a start when they graduate. The better the school, the better shot they have at being gainfully employed when they graduate.
