Thank you onemoremom,

Now that I am getting towards the end of the process, I wanted to share a little data on the two from the financial perspective, as this may help future candidates.

Elon provided some merit aid - around 6K, but zero financial aid, putting it in the 50K ballpark.

Wofford provided a lot of merit aid- around 24K and some financial aid putting it closer to 33K. Now there will be price increases on the order of 1-2% per year, but it is still dramatically less than Elon and about 10K more expensive than in state schools.

I agree with the comments below regarding a more regional college for Wofford and a little more national with Elon. Certainly, Elon feels it can compete at least as the price is significantly higher and it appears Wofford has to compete on price against rival private colleges in SC plus the state schools in SC.
