Find a good community college to send your kid to. She will get just as good an education at less than $5,000 a year. At your big name state or private colleges you are paying for professors that don’t teach, a bloated administrative staff, and generally a poor education in a liberal biased setting.

But college isn't about education, unless you are going into law or the sciences. It's about networking; the friendships you make at the expensive schools can keep you set for life.

Agreed. Doing that with daughter, now. Son went to a top school in Oklahoma with honors and departmental scholarships. He still came out with around $40K in debt and so did I. At least half the time he couldn't even understand the professors, many of them foreign - quite a few from India, if I recall correctly. At least he got a decent job and is doing well.
