Negotiating Aid?

<p>On the boards people always talk about only asking peer institutions to match each other. At Colgate I was offered around $12,000 in grants. At Brown I was offered 3,500 in stafford loans, 2,500 in work study, and 1,500 in perkins loan. </p>

<p>Is it feesible that Brown would match Colgate? or is it silly to even ask brown?</p>
