I am asking myself this question over and over. I want my child to attend the university, but really cannot afford it without lots of loans. The financial aid isn't enough, middle class don't get the aid that lower income people can hopefully get. My child is worth it, my child worked very hard to get the grades in high school that got him/her accepted into the university. Why should my child not be able to go because of money? What message is that sending him/her. Work hard, but it won't matter because the only thing that really matters in life is how much money you or your parents have? Do you think the job market will hire the child that graduated from the expensive university over the child that did not?
