Trinity University in San Antonio is also a geyser (or should I say oil well) of excellent merit aid. It is an excellent liberal arts college of roughly 2500 students with a beautiful campus in that great manana town of San Antonio.
I grew up in the Philly area a few miles from Swarthmore College; went to Carnegie-Mellon my freshman year and then transferred to the University of Chicago so I have been steeped in the rarefied air of the top 25 universities through much of my early life. Most CC parents (and students) never consider the Southwest (except for Rice and University of Texas) in their college searches. You are missing some excellent schools (such as Texas Christian University, Austin College, Trinity University, and University of Tulsa) that are less burdensome to the pocketbook but offer equally rigorous educational opportunities to your offspring.
