You got a bill for THIS falls classes? How did you get a bill already? I got TONS of financial aid for the 2008-2009 school year, $12,500. Im a part time night student, so there is no way I need that much, maybe 1/2 of that. What is sad though is last year I got financial aid for the 2007-2008 school year and it was $10,500, did the cost of classes go up $1,000 a semester?? That is what gets me crazy! Why sooo much money to get a degree?? Im going to owe $18,000 when Im done and I've already paid about $7,000. This is just for a state college!
OH and FAFSA... forget it! I quit hoping for that. I am a single woman with a mortgage. They deny me saying that I can pay $14,000 a year myself. CRAZY!!!!! Maybe if I lived at home with my parents I could.... but not with a mortgage! They really need to take that into consideration!!!
