[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In re to Brown's endowment: Yes, it's the smallest in the Ivy League, but they don't have the business, law, and various grad programs the others fund. Brown seems most focused on offering a liberals arts undergrad experience.[/quote]

brown has a medical school.

princeton doesn't and princeton doesn't have a law or b-school either.

princeton's giving rate by alums and endowment destroy browns.

Princeton actually destroys everyone when it comes to endowment per student, which is the far more meaningful figure than total endowment. Princeton stands alone with a staggering endowment of $2.81M per student. With a conservative endowment draw of 4%, that spins off more than $112K per year for each student. Yale is the only other school that tops $2M per student (Harvard is 3rd at $1.7M).

A list is here: http://www.reachhighscholars.org/college_endowments.html

[b]Grinnell is #9 - the last school on the list above the $1M per student mark - so I guess you who judge a school by its endowment will be rushing to send your kids there.

Was surprised to see Richmond so high at #15 - helps explain the beautiful campus and lavish merit aid.

grinnell has a had a hard time getting domestic students to come and was forced to take omore international students - they said the undershot enrollment figures and exhausted waitlists. seems like people don't want to go there.[/quote]

Grinnell is COLD!!  (as in temperature) and pretty isolated, esp for many kids coming from the DMV.[/quote]
