I have no idea how I'm going to afford to go to HMC

<p>Well the main problem is that my mom had a bad year with her business, which doesn’t reflect on this years tax return I believe… at least not yet</p>

<p>geek_mom- on my financial aid letter, without transportation or loan fees… it still equates to 52,837, so approximately 53k.</p>

<p>I could go on the 12/12 meal plan, considering I usually just grab a granola bar for breakfast and i’m set for the morning (as unhealthy as it is to start your day like that).</p>

<p>Books aren’t a huge part of the cost is comparison to tuition, so I’m not too worried about finding someone to sell me books, but if I do that’s great.</p>
