Low income student at NESCAC/Elite LAC's?

“Amherst – 30% Pell, Median income = $176k, 41% in top 5% income”

This really shows the income divide in a clear way, Pell is typically less than $50K right?

“I would also add Vassar.”

I have a soft spot for Vassar because I grew up a few years in Poughkeepsie, where Vassar is located. However it really isolates itself from Poughkeepsie (not any kind of college town, and I’m being kind), so most Vassar kids head to NYC when they have free time, about a hour and half away, which needless to say is not cheap.
