Proud is an understatement for how I felt about my daughter’s adjustment to college life. Happy doesn’t do justice to how I felt when I hung up on our Facetime calls, during which she shared with me details about her day, her professor, or a classmate who smiled at her. After 18 years of life at home, 12 years of public school, and 9 summers at sleepaway camp, my daughter was “doing the college thing” several states away…and she was doing it well.

This fall my quadruplet cousins started college. Yes. Four people, all at once.

You’d know what your budget is, look for a house or car that falls within your budget, and then decide whether the price tag is worth it to you. So it goes with the cost of college. A college education will probably be the first or second most expensive purchase that an individual will ever make over the course of his or her entire lifetime.
