Post Financial Aid folks got questions

Ok, current students on financial aid. I know you can borrow easly 100k+. But are you limited to what you can spend it on? I am going to need 120k for a BS in microbiology and a minor in chemestry. I know working and going to school is the manly thing to do. But i've experimented with that and it doesn't work well with me. Especially working graves...

Oops i guess i should add that i will be going to school full time including summers. I am 24, its time to get serious.

For a degree like that he could be just going to UOP. My friends wife racked up $100k+ in tuition for pharmacy tech training there.

...I got a degree in Biochem from UCLA for a HELL of a lot less than 120k...



But all you gotta do is fill out your FAFSA and hope like hell.

MVWRX: My problem is i don't want to work. its eather school or work not both. The example i gave in my orginal post explains somewhat about that. 120K covers a lot. Not to say i am going to spending all of it all. But i will at least need 22k a year. This includes living expenses.
I will be going to community college only for general ed. for science, university level only. Oh, also the calgrant deal will help after my first semester is over.

I guess that grant runs off of good GPA.

robsrex: Yah im quickly doing it. I will finish it tomorrow. I had no idea that the 06/07 fafsa didn't include the summer of 06'..... So i have to refill out another one for 05/06.

Anyway thanks for the replys guys.
