i dont know man, but i think its great. i get enough grants to cover my tuition and books now. i damn well deserve it too. when I was 17 and 18, i was paying what I could out of my ass, only going to school parttime, while helping my struggling mom pay the rent by working at two jobs. i couldnt get aid back then, cause i was still dependant off of my father, just cause i was a minor for all or part of the year when it came to taxes.
