We the parents are very cooperative.
He applied at UCSD and UCSC (loved the campus and location), and Cal Poly SLO. I just can’t imagine being able to afford any of them. For an undecided student, I just don’t think any undergraduate degree is worth a mountain of debt.

Seems like you should have told him what the price limit was before he made the application list and applied to unaffordable schools (basically wasted applications). CPSLO is about $43k for non-residents, while UCSD is $62k and UCSC is $64k.
