Yes, for lack of a better word...more like bait and switch. And all
financial aid means is that you get to freekin borrow a ton of money at a
low rate. Last year it was 4.1%, this year it's 6.something%. It's not "aid"
really...I will be in my 60's when I have to start paying the principal, its
screwed.

The first year he got 6k "teaser" grant and some work-study and took 5K
loan - the rest of the 40K I had to borrow.

The second year (this year) he got 3K of the now 45K it cost to go there and
NO work-study. Then he borrowed 5K and I have to borrow the rest.

In the mean time there are kids at his school with grades not as good as
his, who come from "less advantaged positions in life" and from other
countries that get FULL rides. How is that fair? I've worked my freekin butt
off and so has he getting 3.8 gpa all through high school & 1st year of
college, paying oodles of taxes, and keeping people employeed for 20 years
and we get a pittance and less qualified kids get full rides. They only have
to keep a C gpa to keep their aid..big freekin deal. We reward the wrong
people in this country. Why do they deserve full rides, with less
qualifications? Because they're from disadvantaged homes (or whatever)...I'm
gonna be in the poor house paying this off...then they can support me I
guess. This country has it's head up its butt.

Its bullshit.
