“I cannot tell you how many college students graduate having NO idea they took out students loans…”

I’m horrified by that. I think the student should sue for fraud!

Also, on the OP’s topic, I was VERY uncomfortable reeling off numbers that my son had to input into this applicatations for two large Texas Universities. Early on they asked “Will you be asking for any need-based aid?” and we answered “no”, but they continued to ask the most invasive questions (basically the info that will be needed on the FAFSA). I have no idea why. However, I’d decided that the whole application process was HIS and all I did was provide him the numbers. After reading this thread I guess I will handle the FAFSA alone, but the info is already “out there”, he has an excellent memory :-).
