Financial Package from Skidmore

The aid will stay the same as long as our financial status stays the same, but to be honest, I have to hope our financial status improves or college tuition is going to kill us!

We will always be scrambling to educate 4 kids. We need to earn more money just to pay our bills with college in the picture now. But at Skidmore, that will penalize us over the 4 years instead of put us ahead. They also explained that more hours would be available for work study. But the reality of the work study is that students don’t as a rule turn around and apply their work study money to tuition, they also need it for expenses.

I can not comment about the student body however my daughter has made e-mail contact with a local girl to see what she can learn about the real “flavor” of the campus.
