[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Denison and Grinnell both are 80k schools that offer 25-30K off in merit - in this way they're similar. For my kid, coming from a NYC private, I made him pick a couple financial fits and he preferred Denison's location and vibe. It's a bit more straight ahead, whereas Grinnell can be a bit kookier. I wouldnt be shocked if others from the NE preferred it.[/quote] “Merit aid” of 25-30k is just a standing discount off of a fictitious sticker price. It’s a marketing trick, not true financial aid. Which means the out-the-door price is $55K-ish. Denison is well endowed, and this is how they compete for strong students (or in many cases, athletes). Good for Denison. Great school.[/quote]
