Ivy league School or free?
Awesome article to read.
Smart girl.I can remember being 17, sitting in our Michigan farmhouse, across the kitchen table from my mother. "You don't have to go there just because you got a scholarship," she said. "You can go to any other college you want. We'll make it work."
A feeling of utter practicality took over my brain. Paying thousands of dollars or going to school for free?
I chose free.
Fear of student loan debt made me skip fancy schools for a free oneRuss

Both DH and I had to deal with financing issues with school. I made a promise to myself that if DS6 wanted to go to college, it'd either be via scholarship or he could go locally to a trade school. If he wants to go to university, he'd have to come up with half of it on his own.
