The Tyng Scholarship is appealing because that's 20K in funding that he won't have to work to get at H/Y. He has spoken to Williams people on the FB page and many of them do research at major U's at the summer to get both the liberal arts environment with world class research opportunities. There is a great alumni network there and at all the best graduate schools will constantly provide Williams students with opportunities. But he also knows that H and Y have funding for nearly everything, including some things Williams won't fund, like summer international experiences. He will inquire with students to see how easy it is to get opportunities, so there may not be a huge difference in what Williams guarantees  to offer and what H/Y offer on average to their students. One thing that he found interesting is this website: http://collegecompletion.chronicle.com/ Williams spends a respectable $270,253 on educational spending for each degree, but Yale is spending a whopping $556,675 and Harvard $381,077, suggesting that the experience he may be getting at H and Y may be more valuable.

I'm not going to deny that Harvard has a ton of money to spend, but to look at that stat and assume it means the educational experience is more valuable suggests to me everything that is wrong about economics.  [/quote]
