The high cost of college

OK the colleges have got our #. First you get charged an application fee of 50.00 to 75.00. I can understand that because high school seniors want to apply to as many colleges as possible. I find this ridiculous. My next daughter up to bat will have maybe 2 choices. Then the three ring circus starts. THe fafsa. Urgh. Then you get your aid package. If you are an average family forget about it. You get pretty much nothing. Then when you go to reject the School Insurance they will not allow it if you do not have Insurance that meets their criteria. The only insurance we have been able to afford and believe me it is very expensive has a 10,000 out of pocket limit and this Cali school finds that unacceptable. They want it to be less than 5,000. What do they care how much I have to pay out of pocket????? This gets my blood to boiling! I am going to need a visit to the Dr. when this is all over. It is one big game and I am no good at games. Any suggestions available out there. We have filled out tons of scholarships, she was her class valedictorian, you get small awards for this accomplishment but not near as much as if she would have had a baby during her high school years or been sent to juvie. I must hold on to the promise the Lord makes that all things will work together for the good of those who love him and follow his commands. I guess this is the price I pay for not saving enough money throughout the years.
