Thanks, Ray. I will look into your links. Very helpful. We, however, warned her from the start that there was only enough 529 money for two years of a private university. I guess she’s not to blame, because people are not all that smart at 18. We could have easily paid for her to go to a CSU for all four years, but they didn’t offer the program she needed or the program she needed was impacted and there was a waiting list. We are not interested in getting into more debt or putting our house on the line because she will easily make more having a BSN even without a graduate degree coming out of college than either one of us makes. My husband worked his way through SDSU in the 1970s doing crappy jobs; my parents at least paid the princely sum of $105 for the tuition per semester during the same period.

Thanks, Svelte. No, she is not finishing up at SDSU. See, the three-year SDSU nursing school wait would only start ticking for her this fall. She has to stay put. We paid for the first two years of the private college (with help from her working in the summers) but from now on, she’s on her own. At least she’s pretty assured of getting a job as a nurse as soon as she graduates, so the student loans (if she can get them) won’t be so ominous. She plans to work as a nurse to put herself through grad school (wants to be a nurse practitioner).

Great advice about getting a job at SDSU. I did that myself when I went there, but they didn’t have the tuition deal back in my day (I’m ancient).
