<p>SCU does deal with need based financial aid. They also have merit aid. They do not meet full need. Their endowment is growing and hopefully someday they will be able to do so. The schools that meet the highest level of financial need are those with the largest per capita endowment. Also, SCU has terrific facilities (not saying that other schools don’t…but they do) and perhaps some donations that might otherwise have gone towards their endowment and financial aid have gone towards their new (and fabulous) library/learning commons, business school building, and aquatic center. </p>
<p>Re: housing at SCU…on campus housing is just over $10K for room and board which is much less than some of the UC’s.</p>
