Congrats on your acceptances.

I’m not in a position to compare Denison with MHC, but just wanted to throw out that if you’re enrolling at MHC thinking you’ll be cross-registering at the 5Cs for other classes, do take into consideration how realistic that’ll be, depending on how heavy your course load is. It’s easy to think, “just take the bus up to Amherst” but in real life it might not be that easy/simple. Not to discourage you from MHC (an excellent choice), but just something to bear in mind. My D (not at MHC) had been thinking of taking a course at nearby college where she could cross-enroll but it turned out to be too complicated and time consuming and she dropped it.

By the way, have you tried writing Stanford to appeal for more aid? They’re typically quite generous in terms of need-based aid.
