<p>You might want to check out Shimer College in Chicago. They are part of a consortium of colleges that share a campus, so even though they are tiny, there’s about 10,000 students among all the colleges located there. They give out lots of financial aid. My daughter didn’t qualify for any need based financial aid (her parents are very fortunate financially), and they still gave her about $10K/year. The tuition isn’t bad for a small private college–about $27K/year. And if you are thinking about grad school someday, around 25% of Shimer grads ultimately get doctoral degrees–best in the country except for two technical colleges.</p>
