@BelknapPoint, I had known that Hamilton ignored home equity whereas Middlebury uses up to 1.2 times income, which drops it well down for us. Still, it’s another source of savings/investment/equity that’s subjected to the 5.5% drawdown.

I don’t know what Colby’s policy is but they gave the best grant/tuition ratio and the lowest cost to attend. Middlebury had the lowest tuition but the highest cost. Hamilton was only slightly cheaper than Middlebury. Bowdoin came in somewhere in the middle.

So Hamilton found some way to reduce the award while not considering our home equity, it would seem.
