midmo, you bet it was tough decision. Fortunately, we did not compromise on any of his choices or needs. Both of our final options were his “first” choices. He had left it completely to us. The only impact our decision would have made is on us - the parents. We have to sacrifice on debt and distance. The other school is on the west coast. But in the end the way I see it is - we had made some mistakes so we ended up making the sacrifice. Hopefully it works out for the best.

The only irony in all this is that we set out on this path just so that we would not be in this position - but fortunately, Need Based Aid has absolutely been a godsend for us. When we get out of our troubles, we intend to contribute generously towards educational institutions - that is a promise.

miasmom - just saw your post - you are right to be proud of sticking it out - your daughter is a better person for that sacrifice. That is, as you rightly said, Life. And I say, bring it on…
