Payment Plans, Meal Plans, and Financial Aid Questions!

<p>Hello! I have a few questions.
What are the payment plans if I decide to attend? Is there a deferment or monthly plan available, or is it all upfront? I was trying to find this information on their website, but I can't seem to find it. Do I need to contact UF directly with these questions?</p>

<p>Also, regarding meal plans: would you recommend a new freshman to get one? If so, open-access or 14-meals? Is there a place that shows the semester/yearly prices for the meal plans as well? I also can't seem to find this on the meal plan website haha.</p>

<p>And one more question!
My ISIS still does not show UF's financial aid offer. Is this the same for everyone?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>I just checked my ISIS again, and under “aid status” it has a requirement for a Federal Direct PLUS Loan Application? I’m not entirely sure what this is, or if I have to do it, but it’s under the “required” section? I don’t want them to fill out a PLUS application until I know exactly how much they would need to take out… which I’m not sure, since UF has not given out their financial aid offers yet? I don’t think I was offered a PLUS loan in my other financial aid offers from other schools, so I’m kind of confused… will be calling on Monday after a little research, but was just wondering if this was the same for some others?</p>

<p>Exactly! I got the same thing when I checked. I really don’t want to fill it out. If they won’t offer grants, then I won’t fill out anything for a loan.</p>

<p>Same here</p>

<p>Glad to know that mine’s not the only one doing that, haha! Hopefully UF will have their offer available by Monday, and it will be more than that loan.</p>
