I feel spoiled for going to a private university

Think of the reverse…you really want this private U but your parents can only afford East State College and you insiste and whine and shout. That is being spoiled.

Your parents deciding that this University is something that is worth the price…because of education, connections, opportunities, reputation…and you going and doing the best you can? That is not spoiled.

My Dad paid for a private school for me…I thought my obligation was to go and do the best job I could! WHich I did…and when I grew up, I paid for college for my kids.

Your payback to them will not be financial, most likely, but succeeding at the college doing well, and helping your kids pay for their college.
