    If you make under $60,000 they give phenomenal financial aid so yeah go its basically free, If you make over $300,000 Vassar is one of the best schools in the county so you should certainly go, but for everyone in between I would base a lot of it on what your financial aid packet looks like.

    Yeah, you're paying a lot to attend Vassar but in the end it is worth it. Vassar has connections, don't underestimate them! A lot of notable alumni also come back and look for potential employees. If you're thinking about Vassar, don't cross it off your list immediately. Ponder it. Let it marinate. Cook it for a little. Then decide.

    You definitely get everything you pay for. There's so much help available on campus, and the student areas are wonderfully kept. The people who work there are so nice. The computer facilities and the library are well kept and well stocked. We are in a prime area of Poughkeepsie, so there's shuttles to the mall on the weekends and to the train station and supermarket everyday, and the school provides them for us.
