<p>soccer,
people often get crabby about finaid - don't worry about it.</p>
<p>Your guessimate on the load looks pretty reasonable to me. Congrats on your acceptance at a great school, and best wishes for a wonderful year.</p>
<p>Be sure to start applying for internships and such around Christmas break. I think you will be able to find an interesting position for next summer with a little diligence and some luck.</p>
<p>To answer the OP's question form page 1, the student insurance is a one-time charge, and runs from August '08 to August '09. You should have gotten a folder from Aetna with these and many more details.</p>
<p>anyone know when we are supposed to pay for the insurance? (it's not on my bill right now..)</p>
<p>I think is shows up on the August or September bill....</p>
<p>I dont think people who have to pay full fare are criticizing...I think they are just thinking about their own loans, and comparing what soccer is asking. I think they just feeling how hard it will be for them to budget . If a family earns $60,000 and they recieve a full ride, they pay little. Nothing has changed for them. They go on... If a family earns $100,000 they must pay full fare their income is reduced to $ 60,000. Now they are even... Except... they have to budget to live on $60,000 as well as pay out $49,000. </p>
<p>I dont think they mean anything toward soccer, they are just adding their two cent.</p>
<p>I'm a spring transfer, will I have a shot at any financial aid, or do I have to wait until the Fall semester?</p>
<p>As long as you filled out the required documents and demonstrate financial need...you will be able to get financial aid.</p>
<p>cool, thanks!</p>
