<p>Hey, I have more info for you! It’s more good news. :D</p>

<p>As I recently found out, your financial aid package and your bill aren’t the same thing. Barnard carefully budgets for you, and in my case, the $1,900 student contribution is a sort of estimate. It’s what I should expect to have in the bank for books and my personal needs. It’s not an amount I actually owe to the school and I wasn’t billed for it. All work study money made will come directly to me as well.</p>

<p>Here’s my bill:</p>

<p>Account 2010 Fall
Student Account Status </p>

<p>Date Term Code Account Item Charges Credits
07/01/10 10/FA B00 Unlimited Meals/Term + 125 P $2,600.00<br>
07/01/10 10/FA CSF Comprehensive Fee $839.00<br>
07/01/10 10/FA FFO First Year Orientation-Fall $350.00<br>
07/01/10 10/FA TEM Housing - Multiple Room $3,875.00<br>
07/01/10 10/FA TFT Tuition- Full Time $19,434.00<br>
07/02/10 10/FA O09 Outside Scholarship $2,500.00 (this is a credit)</p>

<p>BALANCE $24,598.00 </p>

<p>Total Grant amount still to be credited $24,829.00<br>
BALANCE REMAINING $231.00CR </p>

<p>Remaining Balance Due $231.00CR<br>
CREDIT MEMO DO NOT PAY </p>

<p>I also went ahead and applied for a $3,500 Stafford loan to buy a laptop and to pay for books. I’m pretty sure my $231 credit and graduation money won’t cut it. :P</p>

<p>Oh, wait, scratch that. I can’t take out $3,500 since I already got credit back. The most I can take out is about $1,500.</p>
