Williams Affected by Financial Downturn

Well, I guess if S decides to go abroad I’ll find out more about the process in a year. However, he is NOT a full pay student and therefore we have to look carefully at cost, which with today’s scary exchange rate volatility, might be chancy. I’m a little disappointed with Williams’ policy in regard to FA and study abroad. Colgate, where D attends, has nowhere near the financial resources of Williams, and yet when she went to London, it increased her FA accordingly (and based on a COA beyond that of attending at Colgate) because of the increased cost.

I do appreciate the links.

As far as Williams’ current financial situation goes, I also assume it’s in good shape, which is why I thought Morty’s extended discussion (at the family days session) about additional students was odd - after all by his own admission, at some point additional students infringe on the Williams experience and the additional net income is very low compared to the overall budget.
