I wanted to send my kid to my Alma Mater, but the out of state fees and lack of available scholarship money made that difficult. Meanwhile, state schools in which my kid had no interest, such as Alabama and Oklahoma, indicated they were willing to back up a truckload of money.

Cal Poly at Pomona and SLO are both really fine schools. I hope my kid is headed toward a great paying job.
