Financial aid is a touchy subject with students. Some students are older with kids of their own attending school. Others have parents who make enough money to drive expensive BMW's around, but not enough for them to attend the school they dreamed of going to. Countless students come from very unfortunate homes, where financial aid is their only hope. I've done my comparisons on fortunate families and unfortunate families receiving financial aid.
Why is that a family who can afford to give their child a Mercedes for their first car be able to receive any type of financial aid? But yet a family who couldn't afford to get their child a first car receives an amount that still leaves them sucking wind? This is a very unfortunate case of the rich getting richer, and the poor getting poorer. The middle class people are screwed in this situation.
It's inhumane that any college bound student should have to pay excess amounts of money just to receive and education. College has left alumni bankrupt, in debt, or broke. Is financial aid really benefiting or jeopardizing the student?
