My dad’s workplace, which is a government-owned lab based in California, offers a grant/deal of some sort that allows the children of workers a chance at getting in-state at UC (but not CalState) schools. Hence the particular interest in UCB.</p>

I’ve looked at some information about Grinnelll. It seems pretty nice, and I might apply. I’m just not crazy about its location and the steep tuition. Is financial aid any good?</p>
