| Students will be there, classes start on August 27 but that is a week earlier than normal due to the Republican National Convention being held in St. Paul (my d is very excited, her people will be in town). You may want to re-think visiting at that time, between the State Fair and the RNC it is going to be a nightmare trying to get around plus, I think, most hotels are booked. I booked my hotel months ago. It would be a fun time to visit, just really crazy in the area.
I do think a bachelor's degree is valuable, I just am not sure it is worth two hundred thousand dollars. I would feel differently if we received any aid or if I had an endless supply of money, which I don't. I could have paid off my house with money to spare. So yes, if Mac opens doors to grad schools and my daughter attains the goals she currently has I will be happy. On the other hand, if she ends up with only a bachelor's degree and decides to be a teacher, salesperson etc.. I will really, really, have wished she went to U of I.
Where are you from?
You can continue to ask questions for as long as you like, I do not mind at all. |
