RoadlessTraveled, in post #15 you wrote “Personally, I’d much rather pay a few more dollars per yr. to assure I was able to attend my 1st choice college”

This may be true for affluent families, but you have to keep in mind that for many students this is not an option. I have many friends who made their final college choices based solely on the financial aid packages they received. I myself would not be attending Smith, which was by far my 1st choice school, without the excellent aid package they offered me.

I doubt that the original poster would be in a position to “pay a few more dollars” a year (based on the info she supplied), no matter how much she wanted to attend a school.
