<p>Oh for heaven’s sake. We’ve had family members at community colleges, third tier private university, and top 50 schools. We shop at Goodwill and at Nordstrom. We eat at Subway and at very expensive locally owned restaurants. We drive old cars NOW but at one point, they were new. Ditto our house. </p>
<p>I’m with PG on this one. If a family wants to pay for their child to attend any college, this is NOT “flaunting it”…it’s what they have chosen to do. Your “flaunting it” statement could apply to any student who is attending an expensive private university, not only those that are not so worthy. For some, the cost of a community college would be viewed as “flaunting it”.</p>
<p>This is a free country and the choices we have are plentiful. I honestly don’t make my decisions based on what OTHERS think. I base them on what I think is good for my family…including my kids.</p>
