@lots2do @MidwestDad3 For me, I don’t bother with the list price of colleges, preferring to go straight to the NPC-determined cost of attendance. And then adjusting the price each year by 5% (except for Sewanee… !).

Sewanee is a magical place… though I’ve only spent a few hours on the campus! Sitting on the porch at the coffee shop on a beautiful day will be etched in my mind forever.

Here’s a brief report of the trip my D2 and wife had to Trinity and Southwestern. Weather was superb the entire weekend. They found Trinity to be great on the inside but so-so on the outside. I’m sure the programs are excellent, but the place didn’t speak to D2. Surprisingly (to me anyway), D2 thought Southwestern was a real gem. She loved the “quirky” student body and the atmosphere of the campus. It helped that Austin was within driving distance (one of her favorite cities to date). We may be making another trip there next year to visit a second time… probably in the winter!
