From www.vshcpa.com: Saving for college with 529 plans can be a great idea for families.  Here are a few common mistakes people make and what you can do to avoid them:

* Not allowing enough time for distributions – It may take up to two weeks to receive funds, so you don’t want to wait until tuition is due to request a check.
