Paying for your kids school does not give you the right to influence their decision.

I find you to have a highly entitled attitude. If you were my kid, you would be financing your education on your own.

The way I approach it with my D is that we each have veto power, and we have both exercised it. D has vetoed outstanding colleges that are too rural for her even though she has a high chance of admission to some. I have vetoed a few colleges where I feel the administration is spineless in the face of student protests. Despite these vetoes, she still has more than a dozen colleges that she is excited about.
