<p>D did choose BC over the state school. We told her she would need to borrow 10,000 each year if she really wanted to go there. She did. H and I had to borrow a little, too. Was it worth it? Yes, every penny. She had a wonderful four years there, received an excellent education, and has a large group of great friends still in contact several years after graduation. She has already paid back over a quarter of the money. </p>
