My kid loves the cluster/open curriculum---in engineering so not as much "openness" as a Arts&Sciences degree.  But it is a place where kids truly take courses for the love of learning---and don't have to take a history course specifically for "core curriculum" unless it interests them.  [/quote]

It's so expensive $$$$[/quote]
Rochester gives merit aid.[/quote]

Not really---over 30% of fall 2022 freshman did not receive any merit aid or need based aid.

40% of those without financial need get merit aid, so it is a pretty substantial proportion if you are an above average applicant. Yeah, it’s not the majority, but the “not really” merit aid places I consider to be 20% of those without need and under.[/quote]

My kid is engineering (which gets more merit according to CDS vs A&S) and was over 75% for GPA/SAT and got no merit, zippo.  We were expecting a small amount of merit, based on the CDS for previous years and our kid's stats.  So not sure being "above average" matters.  Then again, the CDS indicates all Eng freshman got merit or FA and I have data that indicates that is erroneous (obviously).  [/quote]
