I sympathize with your financial aid/student loan woes.
My school messed up my student loans as well. I have a set amount I'm eligible for that goes for tuition (subsidized) and only tuition, and I was supposed to be receiving a set amount for cost of living, etc (unsubsidized) as well. As of today, they still haven't processed my unsubsidized loan, which means I'm not going to be able to get my books. They say it can take them up to three weeks to process, a week to appear in my student account, and then another week to disperse the money. Yeah, that's not working so well for me because before I buy my books, I have to pay $550/month in rent, my various bills, my husband's various bills, etc - and I don't have my parents to fall back on either. I haven't lived with them since I was 18, and yet this is the first year that I didn't have to use their income on my FAFSA. But since I'm married and have to claim my husband's income, I don't qualify for grants and etc. Gee, that makes a lot of sense.
Anyhow, I'll get off my soapbox and just wish you lots of luck with finding somewhere that will work with you!
