Hi Everyone,

First I must say that my wife, son and I looked at a number of Universities and Colleges and really fell in love with HPU and what it had to offer. We also were impressed with how well it seems to be put together.

Then it has come to the financial aid aspect. It seems to me that the area itself is a step behind. We also received my son’s aid package yesterday, it was not much. On top of that the response to accept is 3/31. The letter is dated 3/9 and was mailed out 3/17. Not much time to decide either. I do plan on asking for an extension.

We are from Long Island, NY. Does anyone else have experience dealing with the folks in financial aid, and have you been fortunate enough to squeeze more money out.

My son did receive aid packages of 15k and 10k from other schools, but has his heart set on this one.

Any advice or suggestions would be really appreciated.

Thanks!
