How much responsibility do parents have for helping pay for college?

<p>@mcat2 Yup, it also seems like privates hand out a smaller work study amount than publics (I only got about $1k).</p>

<p>"We also partially paid for his grad school (not a MS/PhD program.) It costs more than his UG does and we are poorer now than when he was an UG. (That is the reason why he still does not have a car today.) "</p>

<p>Each parent is entitled to their own type of support, but I’ve always admired/been grateful for these type of sacrifices from my own. I hope to treat my kids the same, to have their backs as long as I can afford it.</p>

<p>"We believe that: “once you have a job and get married, you are out.” "</p>

<p>Same for my parents lol</p>
