Thanks! About to write to financial aid. Most of the FAFSA questions were based on 2019; on my CSS profile, I indicated a change in household. Amherst followed up and decided that I’m married. I’m okay with maxing out federal loans—that’ll pretty much make the difference.
The big question is housing: is there a way to at least get the 16k toward housing they allowed me for off campus housing? Will they give less? That’ll leave us a 10k gap in expenses that we can make up, through work and a partial loan.
