College Choice for Economics/undecided

<br>

<p>LACs are perfectly normal colleges :)</p>

<p>Have a look a these two lists of schools, which are relatively generous with aid to internationals (and notice how many of them are LACs):</p>

[Top</a> 25 Financial Aid Colleges in US for International Students (Need-aware) - Desperate Guide: Undergraduate College Financial Aid, Scholarship](<a href=“http://www.desperateguide.com/us/top-25-financial-aid-colleges-in-us-for-international-students-need-aware]Top”>http://www.desperateguide.com/us/top-25-financial-aid-colleges-in-us-for-international-students-need-aware)</p>

<p>You could start by checking out the following (listed from more to less selective, approximately):</p>

<p>Stanford, Princeton, Harvard
Amherst, Williams, Pomona
Bowdoin, Middlebury
Colgate, Hamilton, Macalester
Smith, Mt. Holyoke, Bryn Mawr (women only) </p>

<p>I especially recommend Stanford, Pomona, and Amherst. All 3 are excellent schools; Stanford and Pomona have milder climates than the others; Pomona and Amherst belong to multi-college consortiums (which make more courses available than you’d get at other LACs).</p>
