<p>@greatperhaps I don’t think that cptofthehouse mean that colleges shouldn’t grant you any need-based aid (though the post did contain some typical CC snarkiness), but is referring to the fact that you feel it’s a necessity to move out (so colleges will have to grant you extra money for food, boarding, other living expenses, etc.) when boarding isn’t a necessity, it’s a luxury.</p>
<p>getting aid for education is one thing. getting aid because you want to live on your own is another</p>
