Confusing Times at Unnamed University

I was going to go into this rant about how unsubsidized loans should be offered to students who obviously have need and blah blah blah because of the fact they're not even need based. Well, then I went to the school and found out I have nothing to worry about... They just have the most confusing award letters ever.

The award letter is "just our first offer to you". Apparently, if they approve you for a student loan, you can still request any amount you want, despite the fact the subsidized part of the loan is need based. It then takes up to 8 weeks to process. You don't even have to sign the award letter like they tell you to.

So, my loan stuff should be cleared up in a couple weeks. Seriously, I'm just too confused about what happened today to even get into details. I've been meaning to actually describe the whole student loan process, and I will soon once I'm finished reading the literature I snagged from financial aid.
