It's very unlikely for any kid at 18 (unless they have a trust fund) to have the money to pay for college themselves while they are attending school full-time. While it isn't anyone's duty to pay for school, I think parents that don't help their kids out the best they can are putting their kids at a disadvantage, and I don't think that's right. My uncle refused to pay for some of my cousin's college, and because you can't "refuse" according to the federal government, she didn't get any need-based scholarships. I fully intend to support my children thought college, including GLO dues, new clothes once and again, books and food.
