[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Re: endowments: it's true that some of these schools are on stronger financial footing than others. But the endowments per student for Whitman and Reed are 4x greater than that of Tulane or Georgetown, 5x greater than Villanova, BU, or NYU. Denison's comes close to that, too. Lawrence's endowment per student, and St. Olaf's, beat out a bunch of DCUM faves.  As always, do your research.  [/quote]

I think there's a lot of bias here--especially location and size bias.  A small school far away sounds like it must be financially threatened, whereas the known school nearby must be in better financial shape. 
Many schools on this thread (e.g. Whitman, Reed, Denison, Kalamazoo, Wooster, Lawrence, St. Olaf etc.) have per student endowments that are higher than Gettysburg, George Washington, Georgetown, Lehigh, Carnegie Mellon, RPI,  Boston University,  Sarah Lawrence, Rochester Institute of Technology, Syracuse, American, Northeastern, Elon, Fordham etc.[/quote]
