<p>Just want to hear some outside opinions/voices on which of these colleges would be the best choice. I know it all depends and is my choice but let's just hear some thoughts. Macalester may be the the best but they didn't offer any money so I can't afford that. Thanks!</p>
<p>Can you give us (tuition+ R&B) - (grants+scholarships) = ?
for each, as well as your parents’ budget?</p>
<p>These are all great schools but so so different from each other! Tell us a bit more about you, your major, your interests, likes, etc…</p>
<p>Im thinking about majoring in a science and I’m really into traveling and I would want a more liberal and open college with lots of interesting people</p>
<p>I can only give you one student’s perspective…my D is graduating this May from Lewis & Clark and said, in hindsight, she would not go there for science unless it was environmental…small school that seems to get smaller each year you’re there…</p>
<p>Can you provide net cost information?</p>
<p>willamette would be cheapest, then lewis and clark, with macalester the most expensive with no financial aid. I’d just like to hear what people think about these schools in general :)</p>
<p>My D had a different view of L&C. She loved it there (math major) and developed deep relationships with instructors and other students. And I know a bio student in her class went on directly for her PhD. I don wonder why Mac is on your list if you say you can’t afford it.</p>
<p>Probably Willamette if it is cheaper - to some extent it’s even better than Lewis&Clark. :)</p>
