This is to the student feeling discouraged about applying to Bennington. I urge you to never ever rule out applying to a school because of financial aid issues. It's always, always, ALWAYS worth applying. Bennington ended up being the cheapest of all the schools I applied to. Just apply, who knows! And honestly, wherever it is you think you are going to go now, will almost undoubtedly be different come decision time. Expectations oh so rarely match up with reality, yanno? :) — Asked by hansoloismyboyfriend
