If your financial aid package isn't friendly, don't go to Vassar.

<p>Vassar > CMU ANY *****ING DAY. CMU is at least a whole tier lower than Vassar, EVEN for engineering, in which case you can do the Vassar 3-2 program at Dartmouth if you so wish. And no, I do not attend either of these schools, so my opinion is hopefully a little less biased than yours.</p>
