<p>I’m interested in going to MiraCosta, but the drive would take 1.5 to 3 hours in traffic. I come from a low income family, so would I qualify for financial aid for an apartment? If not, what should I do?</p>
<p>No, that’s not how financial aid works. You may qualify for aid to help with your academic expenses - tuition and associated fees - but you won’t get a dime for rent. </p>
<p>Get a job nearby school, rent a room, and work really hard for the next few years. If your successful, you won’t have to work as hard for the rest of your life.</p>
