Then I was back in private college. Meanwhile, my sister went to public elementary school for a couple of years, transfered to the private school where my mother taught (thus, tuition was free), and was back to full tuition starting in eighth grade and continuing for two and a half more years to college graduation. Neither of us ever saw a dime of financial aid--it boggles my mind when I think of how much my parents have spent on giving us the best educations possible. As it was for them, education for my children would be absolutely my first priority if I were to end up having children, but I still don't know how I'd afford it. Also, Bankrate has another article about financing private college, in the same vein: http://www.bankrate.com/yho/news/advice/college/20060516a1.asp I went to private school through 6th grade, and then tested into a public magnet high school.

I went to Catholic school for the first 8 years of my schooling (but we are not Catholic. We are Pentecostal Christians, which is about as different from Catholic as Muslim -- well, I am exaggerating a little) and I still don't know how my mom did it. We had no plan for my college education at a fancy NE liberal arts school, but I was applying for scholarships and what not everywhere. Thank God, I walked away with just $4,000 in school loans for 4 years of school and that's been paid off. I don’t know how people pay for private school, even with the financial aid.
