Financial Aid. BEWARE.

I am absolutely livid with the university right now and the financial aid department.

One of my friends has been forced out of USC.

His parents income has stayed exactly the same from last year and yet they are giving him 70% less than what he received last year.

He got only a small portion of loans and no grants.

I am appalled at how the university treats its returning students. He can no longer attend USC.

He turned down scholarships last year from other universities (higher ranked even) because USC told him that his financial aid would remain steady based on his parents income.

It is an absolute slap in the face. Just letting all the new frosh know that they shouldnt count on the financial aid packets that they received to be the same every year.

Its a little messed up. trojan family?.... didnt know thats how you treat family.
