Apparently the school want me to pay rent for apartments outside the school. I can barely afford the classes and while I know loans will pay my classes they said they are going to use the grants before they take the loans and give me whatever is left. I need the grant money to pay the apartments and I guess they expect me to pay the apartment separate with my own money even though I HAVE NO MONEY right now. What am I suppose to do about Apartments? They said that most students get a job while going to school there. How do most students do it?

    Are you 100% sure that this school is legitimate and not a scam? Taking your grant and loan sounds so dodgy to me.

    Normal. They don't HAVE to provide housing. Unless it was a contract in your application or something then ur kind of screwed. There has to he a grant that you qualify for that you are missing.

        Because there's tons of student grants. Are u a minority? Were either of ur parents in the military? There are even some for specific fields of study. Don't you have an enrollment counselor or something that can put u up for em?

      Yeah. My mom barely got out of debt, cant even afford to pay for my brothers college, and my dad signed up for bankruptcy at least 3 times now. Neither one of my parents can pay my schooling. I have to pay it myself.

    Wait they're gonna take your grant AND your loan then give you what's left for Housing? That's F'd up. But not yet until they sort it all out you're...what? Supposed to live in a box? That's realy F'd up. To me it does not sound normal but I have not gone to collage yet so if it is I'm gonna get reamed just like you are.
