A great plan, the variety of funds and they are friendly, efficient and good returns. I have called to start, stop, increase automatic withdrawls on the phone, never a hassle. The information they send is concise and informative.

This is the ideal savings plan if you're looking to start saving for your children's futures early. My wife and I are expecting our third child and I'm ready to open my third 3rd 529 plan. Taxes are the last thing you want to think about on top of normal tuition costs when you start saving for your child, so it's nice to have a plan that isn't taxed and one less burden on your mind.
