Congrats to those who have received scholarships! I agree with a number of you, the funding/lack thereof is frustrating. I was in the running for a 100% scholarship and didn't get it, and was offered only loans at the present. However, I'm still filing my FAFSA, and am hoping that will ease some of the financial burden. Still, I've decided that even if I end up with a fair amount of student loans, I feel like this is the right step for me right now, and since I'm not looking towards having dependents any time soon, I'm not too worried about paying back loans over a number of years.
On a different note, I'm excited to meet my fellow classmates! If anyone would like to connect with me via Facebook, especially if you're looking for roommates, you can find me at https://www.facebook.com/elizabeth.vidulich .
