Middle Class Financial Issues

<p>I do wish they would stop using the phrase “if you get into Williams, you can afford to come to Williams” which is simply not true. A given family’s ability to afford their EFC depends on their personal expenses. Clearly this family cannot afford Williams. They’ve made choices or have life circumstances which make it unaffordable. The college did make that clear in their package. I just don’t understand parents sending him off knowing they couldn’t pay the bill. Or that he could enroll in classes without his bill being at least substantially paid. </p>
