<p>So I got my financial aid package and it is a little bit more than my family can afford... I did the online calculator and it was 5 thousand dollars cheaper; which, is much more affordable for my family. Is it worth contacting the FA office to see if there was an error?</p>
<p>Yes, you should telephone the Financial Aid Office to discuss the package so you can come to terms with the situation. After all, you have everything to gain and nothing to lose.</p>
<p>Good luck and I hope you are able to attend Colgate!</p>
<p>^^^ exactly what I was going to post</p>
