many of their colleges only accepting 6 to 10% of students who apply. There are middle level and
small colleges all over. The large majority are desperately seeking diverse students, and they
can’t find them. Their costs range from $10,000 to $57,000 per year include tuition, room, board,
and other costs.
• Some private colleges are religious and are looking for students who match their religious beliefs.
Others are Jesuit and accept all students. Jesuit colleges are very open to undocumented
students.
• Other private colleges are liberal arts. They often a great education within non-technical fields.

Maryland Institute of the Arts that only have programs for music or acting or art. Others are
technical like MIT and only have programs related to math and science and engineering and
technology.
