Dear Readers:
I think my life experience is what qualifies me to write this column. I made every mistake imaginable. But have learned from them. Most important I still remember what it was like to be 12, 13, 14, 15, and so on. Currently I am a single mom, I have two wonderful boys. One in college. We are all happy emotionally. We love life, and know that you can too. I try to be the kind of parent that understands. I know that I can help you to understand where you parents are coming from, and help you get over the difficulties of being young. You can even have your parents write to me and I will help them to get over their fears and at least respect you and your feelings. I have been married and divorced twice, so I have experience in that field also. But now I own my own home, and my own business and am successful. Lots of luck to you! Hope to hear from you.

Okay, so I start this 2-year community college on August 20th. I already applied for financial aide & got it back and got my classes all set.
I'm having doubts now.
I've been wanting to go to this one 4-year university since last year. For some reason, I really want to go there now instead of the 2-year. Is there anyway at all I could somehow switch? It doesn't have to be this semester, I can wait until January for the spring semester. But I would just like to know if I can how would I go about doing this. Thanks. (link)

There is no problem with the colleges, The four year university will be happy to let you sign up, especially after you complete one semester at the community college. The problem is that your financial aid won't follow you for the January semester. When you apply for financial aid, it is for the whole school year. both semesters.
So the only way that the four year university will accept you is if you pay cash for the full Janauary semester.
Next year ASAP (Jan or Feb. of 08,) when you apply for Financial Aid again, list the four year university as one of your schools. Then you will receive financial aid fir that university that will begin in Fall 08, for the university.
I hope this makes sense. I know it is confusing. I know some students and parents who found out the hard way.,
Michele
