where else would you tell her is the best education for the $.

$ is always something to consider. A very good friend of the family has a daughter that is applying to colleges right now, said daughter being sort of an honorary niece to me.

At first she had her heart set on Texas A&M at Corpus-Christi. Then she realized that was a bit too expensive. Then it was Houston until she looked at the cost of living down there. With her grades (very good) and her musical ability (quite high) she could probably get a free ride to University of Arkansas, right down the road from where she lives. But she wants to "see" the world.

I've seen the world. It isn't worth racking up a load of college debt.
