Should parents plan for the possibility of more than 8 semesters' of college costs?

<p>Actually, I have re-calculated and she will actually have 4.5 years at the private U, to be added to the 3 semesters of CC & 6 semesters of private HS, so she’s taking an extra year of college altogether and will have had 3 years of HS and 6 years of CC/U. In any case, it works for her & us–no regrets.</p>
