And instead of being annoyed with Lafayette because the schools very generous scholarship (sounds like for all but health and non-billed expenses) is not sufficient, be grateful that you will have an affordable opportunity to study at a fine 4 year LAC in the United States. Not to be rude, but this country and its schools do not owe anyone a free college education. There are a ton of outstanding students who cannot go to their top choice college due to financial constraints. I suggest that you make the most of the affordable opportunity that you have.
