“Getting accepted and not being able to go because of $$” - AGREED

We live in an area where everyone is expected to ‘go away to college’ and so I find myself explaining to friends that my daughter will be staying in-state rather than attending her dream school in TX due to my refusal to take on astronomical loan debt. Even with the generous aid from the TX private college, I can’t take on the $24K/year loan debt as a single mom. And her dad refuses to contribute to her college education unless she attends the university in the state where he lives.
