Your second + fits my situation exactly. My parents are divorced and neither would pay for college. I'm 24 and basically just starting college now that I can at least get enough loans from the government to afford community college tuition. I've had to work really shitty jobs for the last six years just to be able to pay for rent and food. (The rent they would have charged me to live at home was more expensive than my options for moving out.)
If I lived somewhere like europe I'd be graduated and quite happy by now instead of really bitter.
- brianchu 14y agoYou qualify for aid. If you're 24, you are now an independent student and parent income is no longer factored into the financial aid equation. You are basically low-income in a college's eyes. Education about financial aid goes a long way. Just because someone qualifies for aid but does not seek it does not prove my point wrong. http://www.fastweb.com/financial-aid/articles/699-fafsa-and-the-independent-student http://www.fastweb.com/financial-aid/articles/699-fafsa-and-...
- Crake 14y agoWow, way to be a dick. I like how you also ignored the part where I said I had to wait six years for the aid WHICH I AM CURRENTLY NOW ON that you somehow think I'm still not familiar with due to laziness/stupidity.
