UW vs Haverford

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of Washington

<p>My daughter was accepted to both UW and Haverford. We have to decide tomorow. We live in WA State so tuition at UW will be under $10K. Tuition at Haverford is $39K. We'd get NO financial aid. It wouldn't bankrupt me but it would take a bit bite out. But Haverford is a better school; SAT ranges are higher (visit College</a> Search - compare colleges and universities side-by-side). Haverford is also much smaller (1300 students vs 29,000 at UW), but Haverford has no grad school. However, they can take courses at Bryn Myr and other schools. </p>

<p>So, the question is: is Haverford superior enough to warrant the extra $30K+ in costs? Gotta decide tomorrow! Thanks.</p>

<p>My daughter was accepted to the Honors program at UW, and apparently those students get some special treatment (smaller classes, special dorm, more contact with profs). So it’s UW Honors in-state tuition vs. Havervord.</p>

<p>Yes, Haverford is fantastic and I think it’s definitely worth it.</p>
