<p>Yeah, that is definitely not true at all…</p>
<p>Pomona is one of the few colleges in the country that meets full demonstrated need, is need-blind, and also does not package loans for all admitted students [including internationals]. It has annually made the list of Princeton Review’s Top 10 Best Value Private Values, has been named best or 2nd best value liberal arts by Kiplinger nearly every year (competing with Swarthmore), and made the list of 20 schools in the country whose graduates have the least debt (the other elites on that list were Williams, Yale, and Princeton; most were non-flagship state schools).</p>
<p>All of the other Claremonts meet 100% of need for admitted students. CMC and Mudd are also need blind. Loans tend to be capped at 3-3.5K each year for these schools. </p>

Mudd- 96
