Of course, my financial aid will change, since I don't need quite so much any more, but regardless... it should save me QUITE a bit.  And this means, that I should have no reason to worry about becoming financially dependent on ANYONE anymore.  I've been stressing out all this time about how I was going to afford paying for everything.. but since I've been approved, so much of this stress is gone!

That is awesome. I remember having to pay out of state tuition, it blows. Right now I'm paying for a private school and its worse than out of state tuition.

Haha, definitely.  I don't know if I would have been able to pay my way through school without it... well, I would have had to take plenty out in bank loans.

Though my out of state tuition was about 30,000 dollars, so it can compete with some private schools.  And that's without paying dorm fees... with a dorm, it would have been 44 thousand.
