financial aid refunds??

<p>just curious about...whether or not this happens often...at the beginning of the semester, i had enough FA in grants and what not to cover my charges of tuition and fees...but i didnt have enough to buy the health insurance policy in full, so i called the FA office @ my school and asked to take out a loan to cover the amount...the women i spoke w/ended up putting me in for the full amount a freshman can get in a stafford loan...but now this semester after fees, charges and books i'm going to have around...1,200 in excess financial aid...it just seems like ALOT...do students regularly get back that much money?</p>

<p>You will most likley have fees and insurance cost for the spring semester also. If you were short in the fall term you may fall short in the spring term also. After your account is settled in the spring if there is any remaining money the school will cut you a check.</p>
