Obviously, value is in the eye of the beholder but I merely meant that the Patriot League schools offered more scholarships for those not qualified for need based financial aid.Not to be argumentative, and I may be biased since DD chose any Ivy League school over Patriot League Schools but I would contend "value" is an opinion and varies significantly based upon personal circumstances. We "valued" the Ivy league education more highly than the lower cost of the Patriot League school but I understand that equation won't yield the same result for everyone. Glad you and your DD found the school that met your needs and hope all of the DFPers can do the same in this incredibly challenging recruiting environment.
At the end of the day it depends upon the major and neither the Ivies nor the Patriot League schools are in the top 5 computer science programs.
So to each their own and as always, YMMV.
