[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - we don’t need money and aren’t expecting it, but I also don’t want to pay 100k a year (we would like to keep it to 60 or so if possible). 
Can you all recommend good D3 schools? She is my oldest (a junior) and I went to a big school so this is all very new and overwhelming to me. [/quote]

Some that will give you merit to get to 60k or less:

Conn College, Trinity, Macalester, Dickinson, Franklin & Marshall, Gettysburg, Oberlin, Kenyon, St. Lawrence, Union, Bryn Mawr, Mount Holyoke, Muhlenberg, Ursinus, St. Olaf, several of the SUNYs.

My kid goes to Conn College and loves it. Their women’s XC team has made nationals the past couple of years (though they are losing some of their best runners to graduation). I’m sure they would love to have your daughter with her times. [/quote]

I would love to hear more about Connecticut College - what does your child love about it? Thank you!![/quote]

Positives: It's a really friendly place, and they love the team.  Small classes, access to professors, good career services and other advising.  Nice Hillel House.  Campus is very pretty and has an arboretum and a view of the Thames River and the Long Island Sound.  Easy access to a beautiful beach.  Hands down the prettiest cross country course in the nation.

Negatives: New London itself is kind of run-down, and it's not a super-pleasant walk from the campus.  Some of the facilities are dated (though they recently finished a reno of the student center and resurfacing of the track); Conn is fine financially but doesn't have the huge endowment that some SLACs have.  Food and dorms are just OK.  The class of 2026 was larger than they're used to (maybe to make up for smaller COVID-era classes), so they've been dealing with some dorm space issues, but that should resolve itself after this year.
