Bryn Mawr vs. Middlebury

College Search & Selection
1

<p>Hello to everybody! I currently have a hard time choosing a college. I have narrowed down my schools to Bryn Mawr and Middlebury (yeah, I know they are quite different!). I would like to major in Computer Science (first choice) or Pre-architecture (second choice). Which school is better for these majors? Where do these majors usually go for grad school? Which college is better overall and is it much better than the other one?</p>

<p>In addition there is a considerable difference in cost. I have to pay only $1,060 for Bryn Mawr without loans and $5,000 for Middlebury with $4,000 in loans. Having in mind that money is of major concern for me, will it be unwise if I go to Middlebury?</p>

<p>Regards!</p>

<p>So Middlebury will cost you $32k more than Bryn Mawr. Only you can figure out what that $32k is worth to you. (For some families, it is chump change, for others a major item.) $32k pays for a year of graduate school.</p>

<p>Among the biggest differences is the wealth of the student bodies. Middlebury has among the lowest percentages of students receiving need-based aid of any of the LACs, with almost 60% paying full freight. At Bryn Mawr, the percentages are reversed.</p>
