Giving advice

I think for that issue, I’m more likely to say what we will do-- i.e. Visit likely schools we can afford and/or are an easy drive while saving reachy, long distance schools for if we see an acceptance and it is a reasonable cost. If anyone thinks about it and decides it makes sense, good. If they think about it and want to do the visits anyway, that’s their business. If they brush it off and don’t even think about it, still just their business.

That said, I can’t always help giving an opinion on college related things. Someone was just telling me their d18 is looking at a couple of schools for music. She mentioned one that I’ve read before on here doesn’t tend to give the best financial aid and doesn’t meet need. I said how I had read that, she countered that they will have to give a lot of aid because the family can’t afford much. I worry that this girl will end up with only one affordable school (the only other one is an onstage public) but then again, maybe because I mentioned what I’ve read, they will search for other schools to add to their list that could be more affordable.
