My daughter was accepted but is very dissappointed that she will be unable to attend due to the cost. Who wouldn’t be, considering the country club beautiful campus and consistantly high rankings. Even with the aid offered, it is still too expensive for our middle-class budget. We would also have travel expenses to add to the college costs. It would not be wise to put herself and our family in deep debt in order to attend a college that is virtually unknown in our part of the country (northeast). A Rollins diploma or alumni connections may not hold much value in the job market as she does not intend to live in Florida after college. It’s a great school but I just think the “rich kid” tag still has some merit. Best of luck to all!

BTW: She was accepted to similarly ranked and higher profile schools that were a bit more generous in their aid packages.
