| I’m in the process of having an upcoming senior in high school - yeah I’m doing my research right now and know what the current costs of colleges are in GA. Our plan is just what I outlined. - a two year school that is part of the four year program at a local college where all of the credit transfers. - staying at home for the first two years and we will pay for her car + car insurance. - She will work part time just for spending money and incidentals. - Since we won’t have to pay for room and board, she can get student loans that should cover tuition. - That gives us four more years to get things together to help pay the student loans after she graduates (step daughter, I had no reason to worry about putting a child through college until 7 years ago). I have a relative, whose parents just did something similar. He went to my alma mater for two years and with my encouragement, he transferred to a state school in Atlanta for a better curriculum and better networking opportunities. They were in a position to save for his college, but his parents also put limits on the type of degree that he could get and the amount he could spend. |
