<p>Oh, I’m very willing to be convinced on this point one way or the other. Not knowing, this many year’s in advance, where my children will apply, I may not have the privilege of seeing a head-to-head comparison based on my own family’s financial data. But for the applicants who applied in this year’s cycle, I’m happy to hear that they appear to be satisfied with Princeton’s financial aid offers, and I recall hearing much the same over on the Harvard Forum (but it probably would be a good idea to revive the thread at this time of year, now that everyone has seen what each school has to offer). I’m always glad to be convinced by facts, and I try (with, I’m sure, a few human-error exceptions) to keep each college’s specific forum mostly a discussion of that specific college. </p>
<p>A pointer to published sources very specifically focused on this issue would be helpful, I’m sure. I’d read what was printed there.</p>
