<p>Hey folks! I have a friend who is an international student. He has gotten offers at both Union and Grinnell. At Grinnell, he will have to pay about $20,000 per year. At Union, he will have to pay $15,000, $5000 less than Grinnell. He wants to go premed and then medical school, so money is an issue.. However, Grinnell has a much better ranking in the LACs... Do you think Grinnell's higher reputation is worth the extra $5,000 each year? Is the difference between Grinnell and Unity that great?</p>
<p>Hello Jason,</p>
<p>I think that there is not much difference in terms of academics between LAC’s, I would go for the cheaper option. Also, how come your friend is still making his decision, wasn’t the deadline on May 1st?</p>
