W T F ucla fin aid sucks

<p>first on ursa it says my parent and student contribution is 0 then the parental contribution changed to 20,000. *** ucla.</p>

<p>after my parents paid for our living expenses we ended up with less than 0 for last year.</p>

<p>W T F UCLA.</p>

<p>just needed to rant</p>

<p>Would you like to rob a bank with me also? It’s best if we go to a quiet neighborhood with a bank with no glass mirrors installed or securities on duty. For instance, my suburban white neighborhood in San Diego is a good candidate.</p>

<p>I’m having problems with them as well. I honestly don’t know what to do. If they don’t get it together, I may end up at Cal State Fullerton. I simply can’t justify $40k worth of debt for undergrad.</p>

<p>Frankly, with this economy heading downward and if my parent’s company goes down with it – I’m thinking about selling my car to pay for my education.</p>

<p>That’s why I never got a car like my older brothers. Bum off theirs. ;D </p>

<p>Yeah…it’s depressing…:/</p>

<p>Haha, I plan on selling my brother’s Lexus also if my car doesn’t pay for school, rent and food. His car should cover for my first year in graduate school too.</p>

<p>uhh i dont understanddd. Irvine gave me 16,000 in grants. and ucla can’t.
whats up with this?!?!?!</p>

<p>it’s sad to see that we have to take these measures just to pay for school.</p>

<p>well, when you graduate, do something about it. adjusted for the cost of inflation, tuition has shot up SKY HIGH in the past ten years. </p>

<p>but really, it’s the cost of living in Los Angeles that’s killer. You guys should look into the co-op living situation in Westwood if you want to save money.</p>

<p>UC’s should be freeeeeeeeeeeeeeee or at least very cheap that anyone who meets their academic standards can go</p>

<p>^ i highly doubt that will ever happen.</p>

<p>oh yes. this is the perfect thread for me right now. i am so irritated with ucla’s financial aid. up to this point, i still do not have access to my epal. i have e-mailed numerous times and called many more. their office already knows my name! though they are all nice, none of them are able to help me! twice i asked one of the coordinators to send my epal information to my e-mail account. for some strange coincidence, she must have gotten my e-mail address wrong because i have not received anything! </p>

<p>this MUST be a hint to go to berkeley.</p>

<p>Yes yes! We should all rant about ucla’s finaid.</p>

<p>I dont know whats up with it…</p>
