Folks probably already know this but I'll mention another reason to consider colleges with a high endowment: if your child qualifies for financial aid, the student loan % of the aid package will likely be much lower. The highest endowment schools don't include loans at all in their FA packages. Students/parents can still get them on their own, but they're not part of the aid packages that these exceedingly well-endowed schools offer.
