<p>I was admitted to MIT with almost complete finantial aid (98%). You can imagine that it must be because I really can´t afford anything in the US (here in Argentina I live quite well)
What I was wondering is if the scholarship is planned to afford everything, from books to housing and food.. Does anyone have a big finantial aid package? In that case.. what do you have to pay from your own pocket?</p>

<p>I mean, I really fear being there and not being able to afford a can of coke or a pizza.. less class books.. Is there any room for saving? (even coins!) I 'd really like to come home once a year (especially since I can´t afford to live in Boston in the summer and can´t work enough with my student visa)...</p>

<p>If anyone knows pleeeease tell me!</p>

<p>I am not really sure if it's only limited to tuition or otherwise - </p>

<p>I think you better ask the financial aid office.</p>

<p>I wonder why you defered your enrollment with that amount of aid. . .</p>

<p>As for the living expenses, I can't answer but you better ask someone from MIT or Boston - I'm pretty sure someone will drop-in a message shortly. . .</p>
