Brown University is getting rid of Student Loans

My daughter was admitted to Brown, Haverford, Vassar, and Reed. In descending order the most generous were Haverford, Vassar, Reed and then Brown. Brown refused to grant the non-custodial parent waiver while the other schools accepted it. I appealed and was denied, but they added another $800 to her aid. That’s all. The financial aid package mentioned the possibility of taking out a loan.
