Who thinks it is a reasonable value to pay 50-60K a year, all in, to attend a nescac or ivy school to play lacrosse? Assume the kid is motivated. Assume the kid could go to a decent state school for 1/3 of that? Set aside affordability for a minute- assume it's potentially affordable, with significant family sacrifice....is it worth it from a value perspective? Would like to hear from some parents/players who have been through that process, not speculative guesses passed off as informed opinions. Thanks.
It seems to me you are missing the point. You are not paying 50-60k a year to play lacrosse but to presumably attend a great school. If you believe your son can go to an Ivy or NESCAC, would be happy and fit in there, do reasonable well in school (not in way over his head), and be able to play lax as well if could be a great lifetime opportunity for him. This was my son's experience at at Ivy and he wouldn't have changed it for the world.
