[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]not a good value for the price.[/quote] Since Amherst costs the same as essentially all LACs, and is more generous with need based aid than nearly all, how do you justify this claim?[/quote] It has an exceptionally high cost and no merit scholarship so there is no way for a student to afford it themselves with loans if their parent doesn't want to drain their retirement savings. Its only generous to parents with need, not students with need.[/quote] You fail to answer the substance of the question - how is it different from other LACs? Amherst is one of the most generous LACs there is. What you describe applies to virtually every small private college. And the cost is not “exceptionally high”. It’s normal. All private colleges cost about that, which while i agree is too much, does not distinguish Amherst as unusually egregious. In fact, the exact opposite because of their high endowment per student.[/quote]
