re: So my daughter has received interest from an Ivy League school

If you can afford to send your daughter to Princeton to study a real degree (not some BS liberal arts, but a degree that offers great career prospects like engineering, accounting, finance, or the pure sciences) I wouldn't hesitate.

I agree.

Don't go to Princeton to study accounting or Finance (if they even offer it, which I suspect they don't) You can get that anywhere. You go to an Ivy school to prepare to make a difference in the world. Don't waste the opportunity on a trade school degree (which is what it is, and I say that as one who majored in Finance.)

To the OP, you say with financial aid, it would be cheaper to go to Princeton than Rhodes? Why is there even a question, in that case?

By the way, Princeton traditionally has traditionally been the "southern" Ivy League school, and has a lot of southerners to this day, so she wouldn't be alone.
