[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We looked at it because they were liberal arts with engineering and in an interesting location.

Kid asked if they would waive app fee, and they did, so applied. Got great merit aid (no CSS, and fafsa not available yet, so don't know about need).

I did worry that most kids would be NY regional and that college may not be the best off financially,  but it might have been a consideration,  especially if kid wanted LAC. (Kid got into ED reach).[/quote]

As a former high school teacher, I always asked students "Where do you want to live in 5 or 10 years down the road?"  If they wanted to stay in their hometown, going to a regional or state flagship is not a bad option.   I know plenty of individuals who attended a regional university and got scooped up by the local health system, major manufacturer, CPA, marketing firm, and so forth and ended up making top dollar.   Beats going to HYP and ending up in your hometown, and not being hirable - due to bad social fit.[/quote]
