<p>LTB…Are there any alumni near your current area that might be able to help you out with the initial deposit money, etc? Is that perhaps the suggestion the college made that you’re not comfortable with? If so, you shouldn’t be averse to looking into that option, as I’m guessing any alumni would be more than willing to help you.</p>
<p>There’s also a possibility to earn a few dollars by giving blood and/or…other bodily fluids. I’ve known a few people who’ve earned some extra spending money by doing this, and if you’re lucky enough to have a rare blood type it could bring in a little extra. Not a great option, but it doesn’t require much time or effort.</p>
<p>Good Luck!! You’ve got a wonderful opportunity ahead of you…take full advantage of it.</p>
