"One parent on Reddit shared that they have a 'high school senior with unrealistic college expectations.' The original poster explained that their senior daughter applied to 13 different colleges, but her dream school costs almost $80,000 a year and is almost 2,000 miles away."
"'She doesn't have the best grades, didn't apply for extra scholarships, nor find any extra money,' OP wrote. 'Now she's upset that her number one school that she did get into - congratulations - is not realistic unless she wants to come out of college almost $300,000 in debt.'"
"'I'm just sad that my family can't afford to pay for this,' the daughter expressed, highlighting the emotional impact of financial constraints on her college aspirations."

The parent suggested attending a more affordable school closer to home, but the daughter feels disappointed about financial limitations. The parent reflects on possibly spoiling their child, leading to these unrealistic expectations and a lack of motivation to seek financial aid.
