Kind of a Rant...

Don't you think schools should disburse financial aid before the quarter starts? That's all fine and good you're sending my check out on January 4, except classes start January 4. In the meantime, how am I supposed to pay for books? How am I supposed to pay for transportation? I'm not even going to pretend like the school thought through the fact students will be in class and less time to actually go cash the check and then go buy school supplies. Whatever. School can do what it wants.
