Mega dittos Tigs. We’re trying to come up with $15,000 extra $$$ to send Al to private Christian college where all her friends are going. It’s probably the most conservative school in the nation, by far, but we’re strongly against debt and the closer the time comes, the more I’m having second thoughts.
Hillsdale?
2 of ours went to state colleges and we paid for some of it and took loans for some of it (which we are still paying off as we had a deal, if they got their degree we would pay the loans off, if they quit before graduation THEY would pay them off). The other one went to a private college, which was about twice the cost of the state schools, but fortunately he got a scholarship which covered about half. I don’t know if it was worth it, but I’m glad they all went to college. I was the first in my immediate family to get a college degree, but my husband’s family is lousy with them! Oh, and my middle son just got his MBA. What a bad time to get that!

Hillsdale is an excellent institution but oh so spendy.
Any idea what her bent is? That could help to determine where she should focus. I have a huge list of possibilities and considerations if you want to email me.
As you know, Lizzie’s doing bible college (online) and community college on campus - sophomore year. She’s going for an AA in Theology and her EMT for starters. From there she may get her degree in paramedicine. It’s a wait and see thing right now.
