This is a big issue that we all face when we enter college and even in college when you have to complain about why they did not approve your application or why you have not received the money yet. It is the main issue why college kids drop out, just because they do not have sufficient money to cover their living expenses plus school. For me, it was tough. I applied since I was in high school, six months before graduation and still had difficulties. Every time I turned in a paper, something else was missing and the processing time of each paper is from four to six weeks. The waking ups extremely early, to waiting in line five, six and seven hours without an explanation was devastating. When the beginning of the semester was approaching I thought I was not going to be able to start and it was when I decided to ask the school for a short-term loan. I started school, everything was going good but no financial aid and the books had to be bought. After waiting and waiting, I went back to North Campus and talked to the lady and she told me everything was ready, to give her another week to have it deposited in my account. And that was it. I got my money, payed my loan and bought my books. It was very stress releasing when I heard that now financial aid was going to cover a whole year, so we do not have to apply every single semester. At least that is something we do not have to stress about anymore.
