<p>Just wanted to thank all the Fin Aid 'experienced' parents that tirelessly post replies, thoughts and suggestions on this board. There are many of you .... you know who are!</p>
<p>As first timers, without the guidance / collective experiences posted here, my D and I would have had more than our share of 'foot faults.'</p>
<p>Apologies, in advance, if this is posted in the wrong board!</p>
<p>I am glad I was of help! Financial Aid is “daunting.” :)</p>
<p>I second HudValNY’s remarks! I have learned so much reading this discussion board.</p>
<p>The folks here are wonderful and if they don’t know an answer, they are honest enough to say so. Good luck to you and I hope the help you received gives your student some good options come May. Please pay it on.</p>
<p>i agree with the comments above; thanks to everyone who posts with such useful information! I find that I learn an incredible amount of information with just an hour or so of reading questions and responses each day.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Add me to the list of grateful, relatively new posters. We’ve learned a lot about the real-life issues of paying for college from this board. (OK, to be completely honest, my wife has learned a lot. Sometimes this particular board still makes my head hurt.)</p>
<p>Agreed, I’ve had so many questions this week, and without the help I’ve been finding here, I’d really be lost! Thanks so much to all those who tireless answer the questions!</p>
<p>I’ll blush for kelsmom and swimcatsmom and the other real experts.</p>
<p>I like posting on CC, my family doesn’t want to listen to me, they don’t want to hear about EFC, Stafford Loans, medical expenses, FAFSA, CSS Profile, SAT scores, etc. </p>
<p>It is addictive though!</p>
