Help Regarding Attending to a University

<p>here's my story:</p>

<p>I'm an undocumented student so without a social security number i don't get any fafsa, calgrants, or scholarships(unless they're private). do the universities give any kind of help? you see i got into UC Davis and UCSB, but didn't get into UCLA(top choice) so i was planning to go to cc first and then transfer to ucla, but you see i don't wanna spend two years of the university experience at a community college. so i was thinking on going to UCSB but I forgot that I had that issue that i'm not a citizen. the deadline for decision was two days ago and i didn't responded. can u do stil accept after the deadline or not? </p>

<p>after you guys read all this could you give me your advise on what i should do please.(go to cc or straight to 4 year college)</p>

<p>How are you planning to pay? Does someone have money in your ramily? Otherwise, going to CC and paying out of earnings may make more sense.</p>

<p>we don't have that kind of money to pay for a school. but that's why i was asking if the schools give some sort of particular help for people in my situation.</p>

<p>"we don't have that kind of money to pay for a school. but that's why i was asking if the schools give some sort of particular help for people in my situation."</p>

<p>Most don't.</p>

<p>4 year college would be more fun, but CC might be more practical. </p>

<p>I'd recommend calling your 4 year universities and asking them what they can do. Maybe they can help you out. It never hurts to ask.</p>

<p>I suppose I'm the only taxpayer reading this, so that's probably why I'm the only one who is completely offended at the thought of tax dollars going to pay for a college education for someone who is in the country illegally.</p>

<p>I know that USC is considering, or has already implemented, some sort of financial aid for undocumented students. Sorry MommaJ. I know that they already allow applications for merit-based aid but not need-based. Huge uproar on their Daily Trojan or whatever their media outlet is called. Don't know about anywhere else but you might be able to do a little research about it and see.</p>

<p>I have the same complaint.</p>

<p>Read on the UCSB thread about the back door way to go to UCSB. Kids who go to the SB community college can live in the same dorms as UCSB kids.</p>
