Hypothetical (well, not really) question here: If you were
offered a 4-year merit scholarship (worth over 100K) to a small
LAC with a decent, but not stellar, reputation; and no money

selective/academically rigorous, which would you choose?
Basically, would an education from the "better" school end up
being worth more in the long run than the tuition money you
would have saved going to the other school?  By Tropicanabanana
