<p>Please, if theres on thing you do, tell your children how much you can afford. I mean sit down with the numbers for each school they are thinking of applying to, and calculate the cost (tuition, room and board, books, travel, etc.)…DONT FORGET INFLATION and TUITION HIKES!!! Give this some space! Your kids will thank you (I know i was grateful to my dad)…make sure they understand all the advantages and drawbacks…</p>
