Delta Zeta Reportedly Sues DePauw

I think a large reason parents figure in more these days is because of the price of college. My mom and I went to the same school and we both had half scholarships. She was able to make up the rest in working part-time and a few grand in federal loans. I had to take out five figures of federal loans, worked part-time, and had to get help from my parents. She paid off her loans within 5 years of graduation. There's no way I'd be able to do that.

Yeah, the cost of college is said to have increased at a rate far beyond inflation. It's interesting that you can compare within your own family so directly.

(I think that the perhaps "over-involvement" of parents is part of a broader societal trend, but maybe it is about the expense of raising kids and college is one aspect.)
