Rave: Excess financial aid

[cards2468]

Wait, when you get approved for more financial aid than what your tuition demands, you can keep the excess?

Yes.

It is supposed to last all semester. Mine lasted about an hour and a half.

Well, yes, the idea is that students need money for other things like books and [insert stereotypical, self-destroying college activity here]. But I mean... it's just a loan anyway, so it's not like you're getting free money to blow on whatever you want.

The financial aid system is asinine. At least around here it is. I don't understand why they can't just bump it up so you receive it a month sooner. I mean, yeah... excess aid is really helpful for buying books, but it's kind of ridiculous when I don't receive it until three weeks into the semester. Obviously late is significantly better than nothing at all, but it just infuriates me how the distribution schedule is structured.

Ohhhh, I was thinking more along the lines of grants. Yea, my girl friend's old roommate would spend her student loan money on ridiculously expensive clothes and a new laptop and other luxurious items that a student loan should not be used for.

I had the option of doing student loans, but I avoided it. I'll save that for later if necessary.

Be happy you had a choice.

If Dr. Pepper is a key word for a case of beer then ok.

I'd go with Moonshine.

Univ. of Kentucky '94-'98, although since Thatguy goes to Knoxville, I believe Moonshine is the drink of choice at UT.

Not the home distilled Jack Daniels? I suppose I'm not too surprised.
