For everyone who is complaining how the system is… I understand it’s not fair and all, but if everyone qualified for free money or loans (then there would be absolutely no money to give). If your parents put you and your siblings through private school from kindergarten to the end of high school and can’t afford to put you through college shame on them. The state provides everyone with a free education… and if you don’t like the neighborhood or school then move! Moral of the story… be smarter with your money :)</p>
<p>And, I would expect for my parents who harassed me about school my whole life to help me pay for school. I would hope you, your-self or anyone reading this, would pay for their kids college tuition. </p>
<p>I do understand people are in really really terrible situations or positions, but that’s just the way it is when it comes to financial aid. </p>
<p>@openedskittles … and yes being black, Hispanic or Asian makes it alot easier to get a scholarships or even gaining admission into a schools… it’s called diversity and alot of schools like that. It’s like your only competing against your race (or that’s what I have experienced). And in most schools Caucasians make nearly 80% of the student body, good for minorities, bad for majorities. I guess that’s one good thing about being a minority is that your going to have an easier time getting into a program or getting a scholarship. Oh and it is highly unlikely for us to get sunburn.</p>
