D2 has not met her academic advising yet, but why do you need one, everything is online.

knowing the answer to this question is a reason why the top LAC vs. top public school experience is different.

For some students, a private LAC that meets full need will be (much) cheaper than an in-state private.

OOS prices aren’t worth it unless the family’s flush with money or you happen to live in Nevada. If you pay 55K you better have your money’s worth and if you don’t have 55K it’s not worth getting into major debt.
To the poster who asked about OOS fees to Amherst: Amherst doesn’t have instate vs. oos, the poster is referring to the top private college, not the state school.

OP:
Can you give us (tuition+ R&B) - (grants+scholarships) = ?
for each?
What’s your parents’ budget?
