Congrats Eleanor500! In our case, the numbers worked exactly the opposite. Lafayette was 5th out of 5 for all facets: actual scholarship/merit dollars, loan amounts, and cash-out-of-pocket price. And the difference was very significant. No way on Earth is it worth a $12,000-14,000 cash difference over RPI/WPI (not even counting the loans).

Glad for your D though, sounds like she’s got that all-important favorite-college/best-$ match and will be very happy there!
