"Today, I was on the bus and overheard two students talking about their financial aid. One person said he was done with his major requirements, distros, etc. and could graduate after spring but is going to take random classes next year because “the school is paying for it anyway”. Another student talked about how he is “taking the refund and going on vacation with it”. Here I am, struggling to finish as early as possible to save my mom money. I do not receive financial aid and it absolutely disgusts me that people are taking “free money” from the school while I work to pay for my books and rent and my single mom has to make ends meet to pay for my tuition."
