These are good suggestions given that kid has a 3.38 [i]and[/i] requires merit aid. [/quote]

Dickinson alum here. Outstanding education, bucolic campus with stunning new science and academic facilities and listed in Loren Pope's "colleges that change lives". Very strong poli sci and humanities departments with a great language problem and study abroad options. It was a bit fratty when I was there ten years ago but I hear thats changed and there are many theme houses, clubs and intellectual activities to engage in.

Its become much more popular and selective over the past decade but acceptance rate is still only in the high 30s. As good as it is it still seems to be a backup to kids applying to Middlebury, Colgate etc. I remember they had $10-15k merit aid scholarships for the very best students too based on GPA and SAT.[/quote]

Clark University in Massachusetts, which is also listed in "Colleges That Change Lives" (http://www.ctcl.org/colleges/clarku), will very likely give this student merit aid. It doesn't have frats, and it has a very diverse student population. [/quote]
