I would also like to warn international students seeking aid that need-blind does not mean it is generous when giving out aid. Middlebury for example award loans, and lots of it. Whereas schools like Bates, Connecticut College and Colorado College do NOT award loans. All grants which will increase as tuition increases.
Do ask colleges questions about financial aid because if you don't ask, you will most probably get a shock when you receive your aid package. Ask about loans, interests (and whether it's interest free while you are in college), and questions like cost of air tickets and such.
And as a matter of fact, schools that award more aid to # of international students means that their aid package wouldnt be that good (unless of course they have got huge endowments). For example, Beloit, Knox usually never go beyond half-tuition whereas Bates, Kenyon can go all the way up to full tuition.
