@zobroward I think it depends on the family’s income and assets as to which college offers the best aid packages or is the best “deal”. For our family (low income), F & M has one of the better packages per NPC. For wealthier families, maybe not. In my opinion, familes making $200,000 or more really shouldn’t be expecting much in the way of financial aid. Merit aid, possibly, if the school chooses to offer it, but need-based aid, no.
