<p>Do you get this check when you arrive at school or is it sent to your home address? Im just wondering because i want to use it for a laptop and books but im afraid I might not get the money in time since my house is in Mass and my school is in Oregon.</p>
<p>It would be best to speak to your Financial Aid Counselor about their procedures as it varies by school and type of fund which is producing the "left over" money.</p>
<p>my daughters loans were sent to the school- has the school notified you that you have extra?</p>
<p>At my Ds school left over money is paid out to the student at the end of the semester once all charges to the Bursars account have been paid. </p>
<p>But books can be charged to the bursars account at her school so, assuming the same applies at your school, you would be ok there (unless you were hoping to find a cheaper source). Don't know about laptops as she already has one so it is not something we have looked into..</p>
