My son was accepted into 3 of the 4 colleges he applied to. We all agreed that he should go to a small or mid-size school, which would be a better fit for him. We are now in a tug-a-war about where he should go because my husband and I think the smallest school is the best fit <1000 students and he is leaning towards the mid-size school approx 3800 students. We are waiting for financial aid to see if that could be a contributing factor. The smaller school is approx. $3000 higher ($33,000) than the mid-size school ($29,945) BUT so far he was awarded a $5000 leadership scholarship from the smaller school. We are still waiting for the full financial aid notices from both schools. Our EFC is $24k, so we'll be paying most of the tuition anyway. Should we let him make his own decision or push the issue on where we think he should go. Both schools offer the programs he's interested in so there is no differentiation there.
