The money is an issue. We could get loans, and grandparents have indicated a willingness to help (though we haven’t had a dollars and cents conversation yet).

Loans? how much each year? And who would be paying them back? The parents or the student?

I wouldn’t burden an art major with loans, since salaries after graduation often aren’t that high.

If parents taking on debt will cause family issues, retirement issues, etc, I don’t think it’s a good idea for them to take on debt either.

find out how much grandparents will pay.

I think I would choose Kenyon unless money was no object in my household.
