Having been through this with more than one, DIII schools are of course an
excellent option, including Nescacs- the problem is that on the whole, although
they offer great college experiences, they are very expensive and less likely to offer any $ at all.

A lot of this comes down to $, and you can't judge other people's situations or choices- hopefully
the kid and parent come together and figure out what's best for the kid that still fits somewhere
within the parents' ability to pay.
