bethievt: No offense taken–I appreciated hearing your viewpoint on my question. When a kid has no guidance from his school, I’m just not understanding the idea that they should be thrown the “College Handbook” and told to sort it out. My husband and I were both first generation college students. I remember going to the library, picking out three schools not too far from home that I thought my Dad could afford, and that was that. My husband had a similar experience. I’m aware it’s possible to go overboard, but I sure think it’s part of a parent’s responsibility to be somewhat involved in the process, especially considering the exorbitant cost of college now.
