Unfortunately, my state's universities are decidedly mediocre. Both flagships sit outside the top 100 nationally. Bordering states do have strong public universities, so I will have to see if there is any reciprocity. Otherwise, it looks like we'll have to do a lot of close examination of the total financial packages being offered when the time comes. I graduated in the mid-90s with $20k in debt. That wasn't fun but it was manageable. I can't imagine graduating with a mortgage's worth of debt.
