Just had a discussion. My parents said that they are willing to pay a sizable amount of tution (upwards of only 80k tho) and if there is any extra that needs to be paid, we decided that I could either work or take a college loan. By this, I mean per year 80k.
Regarding what you were saying about places, my parents are okay with colleges like CMU, but going to like Princeton or Dartmouth is just too far from home.
