| Having the same qualms, SJTH. We're in the midwest, but D would like to attend college on one of the coasts, and the most attractive colleges (to her) to date are all remote - i.e., more flights legs, more travel time, more money.
I had told her previously that she should only apply to schools that she would like to attend, then we would pay for the least expensive of those that accept her. (She could "upgrade" if she pays the difference.) I intend to factor travel costs into the equation, so that may be a subtle push for the closer colleges on her list. |
