How much do i have to pay!!!

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of California - Berkeley

<p>Okay so I'm going to Berkeley as a transfer student in Fall 2011 (which starts late August)</p>

<p>I will be living in the Channing/Bowditch apartments and the rent there is $962 a month.</p>

<p>I received a financial aid gift that says this:
Berkeley Undergraduate Scholarship $12,586.00 Confirmed
Federal Pell Grant Financial Aid and Scholarships $5,550.00 Confirmed
Federal SEOG Grant Financial Aid and Scholarships $400.00 Confirmed
Total Gift Aid $18,536.00</p>

<p>SO I'm assuming that my system wide fees have been paid for (hence the whole Blue and Gold Plan thing)</p>

<p>BUT, when I look at my QuickStatement in CARS it says this:
Minimum Amount Due Now: $7,802.76
Minimum Due + Full Reg Fee: $7,802.76
Account Balance: $7,802.76</p>

<p>I AM FREAKING OUT!!!!! DOES THIS MEAN THAT I HAVE TO PAY THAT 7000 RIGHT NOW!? THERE'S NO WAY THAT IS POSSIBLE, what is this money for, I thought that all my fees had been paid for????</p>

<p>SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!</p>

<p>Also because I am living in an off campus university apartment, does this mean that the 5500 from the pell grant is going to be sent to me in a check so that can go towards my house bill????</p>

<p>Sorry for so many questions, but I'm new to all this and I move in August 15th and I'm freaking out</p>

<p>Would you like some more free money?</p>

<p>No, you won’t have to pay that. When your grants fund the balance on E-Bill will be 0. Then you’ll get an email stating that you’ve an EFT coming in the next few days with the remaining funds–~$18K - $7802.</p>

<p>Please tell us that all of our hard earned tax dollars will go towards you being a future doctor.</p>

<p>^ do you really want to leave your life in the hands of someone as erratic as that?</p>

6

<p>Have you met any doctors? hahah</p>

<p>Don’t hate us low income people. I have full tuition $30k paid for through grants and scholarships cause I’m a b0$$. Tell your parents to make less money.</p>

<p>^ That’s ungrateful. If everyone acted like that, society would crumble.</p>

<p>^^I hope nobody who has a say in the UC budgeting process reads that comment.</p>

<p>Why are people on this forum so rude? What’s wrong with being nice to each other?</p>

11

<p>^ Because we’re all really bitter. It’s a place to vent, not a place to be nice.</p>
