<p>I would disagree with this. Unless, by “financially insecure”, you’re referring to middle-class families likely to come away with a lot of debt after four years, it would seem to me, that for someone poor enough to qualify for a Pell grant, almost any college would represent a life-changing event and certainly colleges such as Harvard, Yale, Amherst and Williams are conflated pretty close together from where someone like that is standing.</p>
<p>OTOH, I wish you’d elaborate on what you mean by “socially insecure” since I’m thinking a lot of different scenarios would come under that rubric, as well.</p>
