@TomSrOfBoston That’s what parents are for.
@catznpigz I would discourage anyone from leaving a school off for that reason. My son who is (instrumental performance major) is at a private university we could never come close to paying full price tag for. In fact, he only applied to two state schools out of 9 total, and several of the private universities ended up less than our state flagship. We were very honest about what we could afford and were sure to have a couple on the list that we could pay for without any scholarships or aid. Private universities often have a lot more money to share with their students than state schools. So I wouldn’t write them off because of ticket price.
