<p>All of the top liberal arts colleges are respectably generous with aid.</p>
<p>However, the institutions themselves decide how much your family needs, and that makes it rather easy for them to decide whether or not to meet it. For instance, I can’t believe Boston College is on Hawkette’s list. That’s an outrageous joke. They gave me only 17k in grants while Amherst gave me 27k, Middlebury 26k, Haverford 29k, and NYU 32k.</p>
