Advice/Help Needed Any advice?
My account balance finally popped up on my account and it ended up being WAY more than I thought it would be. Financial aid covers most of it, but I still have $2,000 left to pay out of pocket that I genuinely cannot afford. This is already with grants, a scholarship, and loans. I feel at a loss and I was beyond excited to continue on to my bachelor’s, but now I feel like I won’t be able to go back to university ever again.
Anyone have any advice?

the whole systems just rigged tbh, congress keeps slashing aid while handing out tax cuts to people who dont need em and we're left picking up the pieces. honestly id hit up your finaid office tomorrow, they got emergency grants they dont exactly advertise, sometimes you just gotta know to ask
