<p>I can’t schedule my classes in clusters – what’s available is what’s available since usually only one section of each course is offered per semester. So I have classes throughout Monday to Friday. Also, what bothers me a lot is that when I arrive home after my 3-hour daily commutes, I have to do 2 hours or more of chores for my parents (I have no choice in this or they threaten to kick me out). This leaves me with very little time left over for studying and schoolwork. I fall pretty far behind sometimes, and my grades have been badly affected.</p>
<p>I would move somewhere closer to campus if I had the money, but unfortunately I don’t have enough money for rent because I pay tuition on my own, so I’m stuck living in my parent’s house. Can’t qualify for loans either, because my parents are making too much, even though they’re not helping with my tuition. It really sucks. </p>
