how is an Ivy-par education ever worth two decades' worth of debt?

<p>^^ With that I agree. I also see your reasoning for the large international aid at LAC’s. And yes, many internationals don’t understand LAC’s enough ( Canada has those schools too, see Mount Allison and Acadia for example). </p>

<p>But comparing LAC’s to Ivy’s may just be another thread altogether. Oh btw, my student just got a full scholarship for grad school to McGill. Some good news. :)</p>
