Time mag: NYU kid emails strangers for tuition, nets >$5k so far

<p>mountains: no it did not make any more money for me. just like this Time magazine, it did not give out my website so people were not able to send me donations.</p>

<p>LurkNessMonster: it’s not always the same financial aid situation at every school. i remember when I applied to SUNY schools I ended up getting less financial aid there than I did at the other schools I applied to. Most of the aid I got came in the form of federal loans (subsidized and unsubsidized) and a few federal grants that didn’t add to much. I got more financial aid from a private institute (the school I currently enroll in) and other out of state public schools. So it’s not always the case that you can go to cheaper schools to pay less for an education or to state schools to get more aid. Not to mention, you’re not going to get the same education at every school or have the same employment/networking opportunities at every school.</p>
