Middle-class students will possibly be taking on more debt if they want to attend private colleges. The nation’s two most selective Dartmouth and Williams have announced they would not be offering aid packages that would normal allow students of any income to attend these schools. The students would have to take out loans. In the future other private schools will follow.
According to experts, they expect that financial aid at private school will be less generous than before, because of the economic downturn and also depends on the school. Many colleges had to dip into their savings last year because they feared there enrollment would go down.
Private schools are in the process right now of setting their budgets for the next fiscal year and none of them have announced their details on tuition or student aid projections. Some that have talked about their budgets are going to offer more financial aid which means admit more students or raise tuition.

• Missing comma to set off and close the phrase: Dartmouth and Williams
• Normal and allow are transposed -- or should normal not be there?
• Should be "their" not "there"
• None of this information is attributed, Kristin. Who said it? Where did it come from?
I think tuition at private colleges is too expensive already. There has been such a decrease in enrollment because students can't afford going to them anymore. Raising the tuition would just cause a higher decrease in enrollment. It's just so crazy how much they charge!!
