Reply to comment by Jerry_Williams69 in UVM too expensive by Constant_Education_4

Tuition by itself is about 19k a year for instate. When you include room/board food and other expenses UVM estimates it costs an instate student 32k a year to attend UVM and an out of state student 57k a year.

There are ways to get it down like merit scholarships for instate students which can knock up to 10k off eaxh year, but it's still crazy expensive.

If they can continue to live at home and get a merit scholarship it's fine, but otherwise they're going to need to apply for every possible scholarship, do ROTC, get an athletic scholarship, or use family money to abvoid going into a shit ton of debt.

That is so depressing. Can't imagine what it will be like for my toddler someday.

The solution is simple. All you have to do is open a 529 savings account for your kid and put all of your money into that instead of paying for food and diapers.
