Thanks @circuitrider CC can always count on you for snarky remarks and picking apart comments :))
But what makes you draw the conclusion that my family is “solidly middle class” just because we are financially savvy and planners? And because our S attends school with a FA package? UMC would better describe my family.
@Ohiomomof2 you make a great point and that’s very true. Something we definitely considered for our older S. Is it fair to assume the kids to which you reference are in OH? I’m referencing CA kids who typically stay in CA and attend UC or CSU schools over LACs. Maybe @rwmannesq can weigh in on this topic but that’s my observation.
@Chembiodad we have yet to visit the Claremont consortium, and not sure if younger S will be interested. We’ve been to ones that are small, private Christian schools. It’s weird but I consider them LACs but if you were to Google search them sometimes they land on a LAC list sometimes not. He is stem leaning but still undecided on what to study in college yet. He does well in both stem and liberal arts classes.
