<p>My son (art/environmental studies) is choosing between BArd, Bennington, Hampshire and Lewis&Clark . We are on the east coast. Bard's financial package was very good but not nearly as good at the other three. Any thoughts?
Thanks
It is almost over...this part anyway.</p>
<p>Here is a calculator that may be useful for comparing some non-financial criteria as well as the standard financial criteria: [FinAid</a> | Calculators | Advanced Award Letter Comparison Tool](<a href=“Your Guide for College Financial Aid - Finaid”>Your Guide for College Financial Aid - Finaid)</p>
<p>Those are all very fine institutions, but in our household “not nearly as good” would be a deal-breaker and Bard would be off the table.</p>
<p>Thanks- I will have to plug in all the info. Thanks.</p>
<p>Isn’t Hampshire known for being particularly environmentally friendly? I may be confused here, but that could make a difference for a potential Environmental Studies major.</p>
