My daughter wants to be a doctor, should I send her to N.U. so she can collect a 180,000.00 debt in her first 4 years for atmosphere? If you allow that , your a bad parent. Oh yeah, I forgot youe a Yellow Jacket, your kid is going to get that imaginary "full ride"
So your saying a stonybrook education is better and more valuable than an education from all the other colleges offering D1 lax? What did they spike the koolaide with at the luncheon?
Why the condescension? I don't understand. I think the parent was saying their out-of-pocket expenses would be much less at SB since it's a state school. I can't fault that strategy.
I think you need to keep in mind that the point of college is education, not lacrosse. My own kid (2015) has started making noises about choosing a college based on its lax program and we have had some come-to-Jesus talks about that thinking.
The low cost was noted as maybe the draw to SB. And your exactly right, the point of college is education, with lax perhaps helping the athletes get into a better school than their academics would allow. I think many of the people are considering SB for the lax team promised to be. I don't think for all the girl's this is about education, it's about lacrosse. Just look at the number of players transfering to follow the coach, is that about education? Small tuition and a part scholarship, and a promise of a powerhouse team to come, for many is likely a nice deal. Not knocking anyone's choice to go there, just suprised by the number of girl's making the choice to go there.
