I wrote two tuition checks today.
One for my son - engineering - $2K for the semester OOS at Alabama. That’s just tuition - his apartment is separate.
The other was for $4K for College of Charleston - that included Room & Board - she’s majoring in a liberal art. Also OOS.
To say I got lucky is an understatement - lots of merit aid.
My point is - it sounds easy to say, i’ll spend $200K or $300K…but it’s definitely not - not for your family. That money could find a good use otherwise!!!
