<p>Check out University of Southern California–they give 1/2 tuition to National Merit Finalists who are accepted. It may seem like a “large” school on paper but from what I’ve heard it really does provide a smaller school feeling with the intimacy of classes. Also, since we’re on the subject of money, take off UC Berkley. They won’t give you money because you’re out of state.</p>
<p>Also check out the Claremont Colleges (specifically Pomona and Claremont McKenna). Pomona’s language classes are known to be amazing. Also Middlebury, a small LAC in Vermont is known for its exceptional language classes.</p>
