@bluebayou honestly so are we. I am a Creighton alum and we have a junior at Villanova. The merit aid there is nothing to brag about, let me tell you from experience! That is one thing I wish was better, especially since we are looking at having these kiddos overlap by a year. 
haha. Felt like the majority since thatās all I was surrounded by. I lived in duschuesne west and it wasnāt bad. Next year Iām in Roncalli
Just in case you havenāt booked yet, thought iād share lodging info. Iām a big fan of apartments over hotels and use vrbo quite a bit. Check out Sonderās Boston apartments. A friend stayed at the one near the Backbay recently and I booked it for a trip next month. https://www.sonder.com
Hope you have a great college visit!
