<p>Boy, I am very confused about the financial package we received yesterday from Birmingham Southern......not happy with it at all!</p>
<p>My D was accepted and got a similar aid package. BSC was #1 after her visit, but has slid since. I spoke with someone there and was told (not for attribution), that due to the downturn in the economy, the school had been forced to cut WAY down on need based aid. I just read an article that indicated that many if not most LACs were doing the same thing. Hendrix is the only exception so far, the best of the 7 accepted schools. They just keep sending her better offers.</p>
