<p>Yeah, I'm not actually sure why everyone keeps saying Brown has bad financial aid. My efc was $9,000 and I got an amazing package with $30,000 in grants, $5,000 in subsidized loans (which I used my scholarships to get rid off), and $2400 in work study (which they waive for the first year with an extra $2400 in grants). Brown meets 100% of demonstrated need, so I'm not sure why people are complaining it's not Brown's fault that your efc is high. I admit it's not Princeton with their no-loan policy but the loan amount, which I guess people are complaining about, are reasonable given that they are subsidized.</p>
