<p>I just got my package from some sexy fedex dude... Horrible aid... 9000! That's 20000 short. :(</p>
<p>Just received the packet, awesome aid package $ 39K a year.
Also there is this really cool letter from the Bates International Club.</p>
<p>hey, mellowjello,
WOW! You don't have to pay more than 1k every year!!! It's awesome!!!</p>
<p>"hey, mellowjello,
WOW! You don't have to pay more than 1k every year!!! It's awesome!!!"
menghze - I wish that was the case. Unfortunately, the annual cost of attendance at Bates is sth like $44,150 so I'll still have to dish out 5K. But I am not complaining - the aid pacakage exceeded my expectations.</p>
