<p>I see a lot of people who got full tuition from a college say they got a full ride. I thought full ride meant room and board as well as tuition. </p>
<p>If people ask me if I got a full ride should I just say yes rather than clarifying that I got full tuition?</p>
<p>People who are not on CC all the time confuse the term. Same with scholarship and financial aid. People often mix the two terms.</p>
<p>I think you should take the opportunity to explain the difference between a full ride and full tuition. Spread some knowledge about paying for college. If nothing else, it might help people understand just how rare a real 'full ride' is, so even if they think their kid is Einstein, they save some money.</p>
<p>this def ****es me off when ppl use the wrong terminology</p>
