My daughter is about to take out 100k+ in loans to go to college to be a chemical engineer. How can I discourage that? She's spent years putting in hard work to get accepted. Im afraid shes going to get indoctrinated, but what are her other options, honestly?

Yeah, it's really dumb to take out that much in loans. I second the advice to get generals done at a local community college while living at home the first two years, possibly w a part time job. Most colleges will accept 60 transfer credits. Then she can finish off her degree. As a female myself who was in science (ended up with an MS in geology), if your daughter is more science-oriented, she would hate hate hate all the drama that she will inevitably be sucked into if she lives in the dorms. If I could do it again I would live at home the first two years. My little brother did. It was so smart of him!!
