UVA vs Vassar vs Colgate vs Lafayette

<p>i was hoping some students or people more familiar with these schools could give me some insight into how they would rank these four for someone interested in economics, finance, or polisci. money is factor, but please dont turn this into a discussion on how best to finance my education; im looking for a comparison of the various schools based on more than just tuition statistics </p>

<p>thank you!</p>

<p>Apply to a range of schools - you may feel very differently about what type of college you want to attend next May vs. now.</p>

<p>Also, Lafayette is very good with merit and need based financial aid. They have one of the highest endowments per student of any non-Ivy.</p>
