[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Swarthmore!!! Amazing intellectual experience--truly a world class college education. [b]If you can get in (and don't worry about cost--if you qualify for financial aid, you will get it), [/b]I wouldn't even consider another school. As a college prof, I would strongly urge you to consider small liberal arts colleges for undergrad, and major research universities for grad school. Swarthmore, Amherst, Williams, Wesleyan, Pomona, Reed, Carleton, Oberlin, Haverford, Bryn Mawr, Vassar, Mt. Holyoke, Smith, Wellesley, etc. If you are worried about name recognition--the people who will be important in your DC's life will know these schools.[/quote] I agree that these are all very good schools. However, the tuition does worry me. I highly doubt my family will qualify for financial aid, but we are still middle class enough that 50Kplus a year would really pinch (and not because we live in a mcmansion or drive luxury cars).
