[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think there are two kinds of complaints that bother me the most.

First, the people who are financially comfortable who complain that it’s not “fair” that low income students get money. They don’t seem to understand how persistent a low income kid has to be to overcome all the obstacles between them and going to college. They seem to think their kids obstacles were the same.

Then there are the people who convince themselves that they aren’t well off, even though they replace their cars more regularly than most, go on vacations, and live in a spacious home. I think hey look at the wealthy people in the area and social media and feel “poor” and deserving of financial aid. [/quote]

and a third irritation I have are the people I know with hs students who exlaim in exasperation when considering tuition "omg, we are going to have two in college at the same time!" as if they had never thought of it before.
I just listen but am wondering how they can possibly be caught off guard by that fact and why it is only registering now? Perhaps they did poorly in basic math during their own college years   :) [/quote]

Not to mention that having two at the same time is the best chance of getting financial aid at higher income levels because your EFC doesn't increase!  Spacing like we did 5 years apart is the dumbest (in terms of financial aid).[/quote]
