Glad to see most of these plans are focusing on getting costs down over time. Pleasantly surprised to get a notice today that the expense ratio just dropped even further, from 0.5% to 0.34%.

It had a $2000 cap though. Now, 529 has lower fees and much higher cap, seems like the way to go. True, when I first started saving for college, I chose an ESA over 529 since the fees were higher.

I am setting up 529's at the moment, so this came in very handy. I am looking at the Iowa plan or the Vanguard Nevada plan. Both are, in essence, Vanguard funds at the core with relatively cheap expense ratios. Both look pretty good. Regards Kevin Thanks for the very useful post.

When I started my kids college funds, 529 plans weren't yet available. So, I used UGTMA (Universal Gift To Minors) accounts. I was curious what the exit liabilities if a 529 plan was, because one of my kids dropped out of high school as a senior. But, now he is attending a community college. Thanks for all of the information. This was an informative and well-written post.
