re: How much are you saving for your kids education??

Not only that but by going to a four year public university, your child is surrounded by people who have to get it done to be successful. They have been given an opportunity from families who sacrificed in providing an education for them. I meet my future wife while she was at a private university and all of her friends were smart but little motivation to succeed. Perhaps it is because they don't have an immediate need to make money or their parents are well off so there is not motivation or urgency to succeed.

I may be biased but schools like LSU provide quality education and ample opportunity.
