My daughter got financial aid as well and though it was a bit more expensive than UC’s, it wasn’t such a big gap as to turn down the opportunity. She had to work EXTREMELY hard to get the sort of GPA that would get her in the door. I would hate her to be punished just because she had to take out a little more in student debt.

All of that being said I wanted all three of my kids to have some skin in the game. A bit of student debt isn’t necessarily a bad thing as it can help them to learn how to be fiscally responsible (and build up their credit. But to be refused help based on the type of school alone just seems wrong.
