I have a last-dollar scholarship, so outside scholarships lower that aid first instead of stacking on top of it. I’ll probably have my meal plan covered, but I’m more worried about rent since I’ll be living off campus. I’ll be working during school, but relying on a job alone for rent sounds stressful. I’m applying to outside scholarships and hoping some extra money could refund back to me after school costs are covered. I already emailed my school to ask how it all works, but what would y’all do? Focus hard on scholarships, take loans, work more, or a mix? submitted by /u/JayWalking5 [link] [comments]
