Vassar or Tufts???

I think if he got money from either school then he could use that as his excuse. He actually eliminated the two schools he did give him money. My husband and I were both raised by single mothers and one of the biggest factors for each of us was our FA packages. I went to Brandeis over Vassar because they were very generous. Vassar is not giving him anything. We have yet to hear from Tufts, But I doubt it will be any different than Vassar.

I do appreciate the comment about Tufts feeling like a LAC and that he will have access to professors. I loved going to school in the Boston area but I grew up in Brooklyn and went to a large HS so Boston was “quaint” to me. Even though we are so close to NYC, he is really a suburban kid.

I will keep you all posted!

Thanks again
