My son is trying to decide between Lehigh and Delaware. At Lehigh, he has been offered almost no financial aid (total cost $50,000). He was admitted into the Honors program at U. of Delaware with a $7000 annual scholarship (leaving total cost at around $22,000). Do we go for value (Delaware) or reputation (Lehigh)? Love Lehigh but cost is a bit of a hardship for our family. We appreciate any thoughts or sharing of experiences!
