Are you going to Brown? I beleive Brown meets 100% of EFC.
If you have extra costs that they haven’t taken into consideration ( really high medical bills- support for a relative…) then they may reconsider with documentation.
Re travel costs- I have no idea really how much they allow- you pay your bills and what ever is left over you get to travel with I guess.

I suppose they could argue that if you needed money to go back and forth and they aren’t giving enough- then you should perhaps attend somewhere closer- or heres a thought! earn your own money!

My daughter works every summer and puts $3,000 towards her tuition costs. During the school year her job pays about $2,000 and it covers her travel expenses, books, prescriptions etc.
You won’t need a computer right away- and if you can’t live without one- craigslist has good used ones for sale-
If you already have one- it is better to use it for a few more years then when you are a junior get a new one that will be powerful enough to get you through senior year and a few years on the job.
