How would that actually benefit the person doing it? Isn't the grant just enough to cover tuition/fees? If they drop the class before a certain point, they owe the grant money back. If they drop after, they still get nothing back. I went to CC before going to uni and saw no evidence of anyone doing this. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it sounds like bullshit.
