F&M Vs. Dickinson

Sorry… but there are plenty of families in the income level and lower who CAN afford it, especially those who saved when their kids were young. Your posts showing your own bitterness toward college costs (and possibly toward your parents who didn’t save and/or won’t pay out of current income) is derailing the OP’s thread.

OP, you seem inclined toward F&M. Somehow you have the impression it is the stronger school (although I don’t think that is true). I have never seen evidence that F&M has stronger grad school placement than Dickinson, and really think Dickinson is stronger in your majors. But you should go to whichever school you are most comfortable at and can afford. Just don’t try to justify it in saying that F&M is a better school, because it honestly probably isn’t. Neither school requires test scores any more, but when they did, Dickinson’s scores were higher than F&M’s.
