" Obviously, it will be impacted but what we CAN do (we will not take out parent plus loans as we have great state schools as an option) realistically. "
Then THAT is the premise you tell them to start with.
Tell them that given how much college costs have gone up recently, [and you have to assume they will continue to do so], they will need to choose colleges that wont cost any more than the state schools cost.
They and you will need to run NPC’s and look for colleges costing the same or offering merit scholarships if they want to go to elsewhere.
