    We're getting close to that already. Many of DD's peer cohort is looking at higher ed costs out of the US-- and they are nearly at parity now.

    I'm not even talking about backwater institutions. We've price-shopped here and my DD could attend Trinity Dublin or the Sorbonne for roughly the same cost as attending any of the top 6 UC campuses.

    College is less dependent on local COL than preschool, though, I'd say. I live in a low-COL area and one of the most expensive preschools in town cost us about $800/month full-time back in 2005-2007.
