Parents Weigh In:
Who Makes the College Decision?

I never planned to be a helicopter parent. But h*ll would have frozen over before I Ieft a decision worth over $100K of MY money in the hands of a 17-year-old!

— Sabrina M.

If they could truly borrow money only in their name, then I could understand. But it’s a family obligation and decision. The FAFSA, the CSS and any loans are on the parents. Sure, let them drive the bus, but you have to be a willing passenger to make sure it’s not an insane ride for all.

— Jodi S.
