[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mine (junior) so far is uninterested in going anywhere that requires a plane flight. I am sure Occidental is a fine school, but really, is it so different from schools here on the East coast to justify the distance? Or is it just that people apply to all the schools that meet their criteria and then choose based on where they get in with the best financial package? This is not a snarky question. My DS would also like a liberal arts college, and I am not sure how many to visit and whether we should expand our search beyond a car drive away, which is what we have limited it to so far.[/quote] Because for some SLACs, geography matters. An east coast kid sometimes has better luck getting into a Midwest or west coast school than an east coast one, and at schools that offer merit aid, more chance of getting aid. [/quote]
