You must have run the Net Price Calculators to be positive that you are not eligible for any financial aid? If your family AGI is below $200K for the wealthier private universities there will be some financial aid. Rose Hulman, Cooper Union, Franklin W.Olin will fit your financial objectives and provide strong academics given your son’s interests. They are not big schools but both Olin and Cooper Union are in major metropolitan areas. I think Grinnell, Kenyon and Davidson are very good schools but they are LAC’s.
