Why is no one talking about scholarships. Many private universities, but not the top tier, have very generous scholarships for top bright students. A few schools my daughter & I talked with would give top students (my daughter wasn't one) large merit scholarships AND admission to special honors programs. Just talked with a parent this morning who's daughters have gone this route.
exactly! When I did my quick check into things last night, I realized that if our boys were to go to college now, if they went to my old University where I graduated, and had good grades and ranked among the top couple % of their graduating class (and ACT / SAT), they could very well go tuition-free. The main thing we'd have to figure out would be room and board, which over there wouldn't be as big of a deal as in a larger city.
