That letter made sense until he started going all “reality TV” on the prospects of missing a wedding or graduation.
My daughter’s school is about to cancel the second half of the semester of grad school. At $18k a semester, with no student loans involved...that will leave a mark.
Re the weddings, that is huge business in California. It has gotten so out of hand, they are have memory destination events to relive the first wedding.
A friends’ grand daughter was going to have one of these, this June in Hawaii at a cost of 5K per person in honor of their second anniversary.
All of her relatives told her to forget it, some were still helping to pay for attending and gifting her first wedding to the same guy.
The colleges going on line will create a lot of heated discussions.
One of our DIL’s is a Wharton business grad. She is having heated discussions with the landlord of the apartment at the Big East school her kid is going to. If they go internet at the school next semester. She can do her classes from her home in California not on the east coast in a rented apartment.
Also, if they go all internet, she is telling the university people,there is no way they can justify a hefty 5 figure tuition charge per semester.
