I have two younger ones in private school

My oldest daughter will be at Lipscomb College in January, the younger at Belmont.

Both not far from where I am typing.

I hope to get at least 50% reduction from non-income dependent grants and maybe student loans beyond that some.

I would rather help them pay off the loans than just peel off all that cash now but we’ll see.

When I went to Ole Miss in 1976, tuition was 500/semester and dorms/meal ticket were another 150 bucks

Education costs have outpaced inflation by multiples.

Crazy....too many kids going to college.

Here in TN, we have lottery grants, it’s a racket for many minority kids and their white trash homeys...they go to community school, wreak havoc on the classes and defer, defer , defer and then get the check and quit.

What a waste.

Plus...i had never heard of a college class where the teacher could not keep order till my girls took some filler classes at Nashville State

I remember those days. It was cheaper to send your kid to college than keep him at home.
