Merit scholarships versus need-based financial aid effect on students, parents, and colleges

[Techno13]

I don’t think that it is unfair to think a student might have to go to a non-flagship and that the family will have to pay for it, that the student may have to go part time and work part time, or live like a poor college student in a building without a lazy river.

100% agree!

Caveat: That path to college seems patently unfair if others get full financial aid b/c they can afford even less. Yeah I know, life is unfair is also a good lesson.
