Stressful

No university ever makes it simple to recieve financial aid; and despite emails and phone calls I always seem to get a run-around of numbers and finances. That doesn't reassure my parents, and it makes it literally impossible to grab scholarships and grants without somebody either claiming it first or finding out about it too late. It's very difficult to avoid loans.

The Financial Aid

The process is pretty much satisfactory. They email you about everything that you need to remember.

You Have to Keep on Them!

Even though in the end my school was paid for, the bursars office and financial aid office does not work together for some reason. If you have loans pending you have to let the busars office know other wise you geet smacked with late fees like i did. They fixed it though. You also have to call and write down who you talk to when you do call financial aid. In the end i got my financial aid and spoke to a lot of people who worked in financial aid, some were helpful and some not.
